A sacred shrine with that gives a calm and peaceful experience. The autumn colours are still nice but past the peak.

A beautiful shrine that is usually quiet. Every season is beautiful, and in summer it is cooler than places at sea level, such as Wakayama City or Iwade City etc.

Katsuragi of Wakayama Prefecture is well worth a visit

Surprised how many people were there when we visited on a random day! Bridge was closed for being slippery, there was a priest who wrote my shuin in the book for ¥500. They had a picnic area too and udon in a shop by the two big free parking lots.

Definitely worth the stop, it was fairly empty when we visited during a weekend in October. There seemed to be a religious rite of passage that was going on during that time. I think there’s two ways to get into shrine grounds, but the parking lot from the side gives you the best shot of the unique bridge in my opinion.
