Beautiful Shrine! The stairs were a little bit slippery because it was raining when we got there. The scenery from the top was very nice. You can even see Matsuyama castle from there.

I short climb up to see the view of dogo. Just go when visiting dogo. It's free. No tickets.

A shrine that is located in the area, and it was near my hotel. I went for a visit, completed my prayer, and purchased some charms. There is a parking lot besides the shrine main building up on the hill. There is also a stairway you may take to walk up to the shrine, be very careful thou since it's quite steep and uneven.

I love how steep the stairs are up to this shrine! I would love to see this area covered in the snow, but the view this spring was also pretty spectacular. If you’re in the area, take an e tea hike and kill a few more calories! The shrine is pretty cool, and the walk up is great. Be careful in the rain—the steps are not perfectly even!

Lots of high slope stairs so be careful! But if you enter from the back side with your car it's easier. From the top of the Shrine, you will get a nice view of Dogo Onsen area.
