A unique double helix wooden temple, thanks to youtube channel “Abroad in Japan” we visited this place in Fall 2023, and it’s amazing, especially in golden hour. Near the temple, also historical place for byakkotai warrior, legends said they saw tsuruga castle lit on fire from this place

Amazing Japan National Heritage - Can’t say anything else. This is the only double-helix temple in the world, built around more than 200 years ago by some priests. All made by wood. All. The architecture design made the route from downstairs to upstairs is one way route, which made you never going to encounter anyone walking in the opposite direction. Mind-blown architecture and yes, worth to climb the stairs to see this temple.

Very cool double helix structure temple built in the 1700s. It costs ¥400 to enter and walk to the top. There is a gift shop and other surrounding areas on the temple grounds to check out. The road is very narrow to drive up and down to get to a small parking lot next to the entrance. No parking fees

Such a unique building. Never seen anything like the stairs here anywhere else in Japan. I’ve been to all 47 prefectures.

Very impressive. Not crowed at all. Worth 1.5 train ride just to come to this place. No need to use escalator. If you walk further to the left, there is a short road to the temple. Not steep at all, just 10-15 walk without sweat.
