What visitors say
This shrine is located in the mountains and exudes a solemn atmosphere. The approach includes gravel paths and narrow roads, so caution is required when driving, although parking is available at the upper section. The grounds offer a wide variety of items for sale, including Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps), Omamori (protective amulets), and Okin (rice crackers). Facilities are well-maintained, featuring stone steps leading to the inner sanctuary, Mizu (purification water), and Omikuji (fortune slips).
