The Shirohebi Shrine is one of my favorites in Iwakuni. This shrine is newer, well kept up, and is home to several of the famous White Snakes. I have been here numerous times and it's always fun to look at the snakes in their cages. The cages are beautifully set up and spacious. I would say this is more interesting then the White Snake Museum near the Kintai area. Another reason I like this shrine is since it is dedicated to the white snake, many of the statues resemble the snakes. This shrine is unique and worth visiting. It is not a far walk from the base or anywhere really if in Iwakuni.
