What visitors say
A quiet shrine located deep in the mountains, offering a serene atmosphere where you can hear the sound of the river and birdsong. The landscape, featuring moss-covered steps and impressive male and female cedar trees, evokes a strong sense of the sacred precinct. Please note that the path leads to a serious hiking trail, so trekking shoes are required. Additionally, be aware that there is no mobile signal, the path is narrow, and the road surface is uneven.
