There is a cafe restaurant named “Akagi Cafe” in the precinct of the shrine. It is very hard to find these type of cafe restaurant in a precinct in Japan. This modern cafe serves meals include lunch and dinner at reasonable price with magnificent shrine view over the window. A glass of wine or beer would be perfect afternoon for you.

Akagi Shrine hold hand-craft market named “Akagi Marche” twice a month.
There are many kind of hand-made shops such as drawing, accessary and foods.
It is really fun to look around and find hand-made items that you only get a chance to find there.
