This shrine, deeply cherished by the locals, exudes a strong sense of love. It honors numerous Japanese deities. To fully appreciate its significance, let's approach with respectful attire and conduct, recognizing that it's not just a typical tourist spot.

Cool shrine with a 2,100-year history. We learned a lot about the painstakingly long process of urushi restoration and maintenance of shrine buildings. Urushi trees take at least 15 years to grow and only produce 200 ml of urushi in the end 😱 But this is a historical site and so the government will endure the cost. Unfortunately, the main hall is under renovation for the next 5 years! But we got a special tour to peek inside.

Nice shrine with a history linked to the Tokugawa - there is also a good view of Fuji, if you can walk up the hill

One of my favorite places to go and take time to think. There's an abundance of places if you truly take time to look around. I recommend climbing all the way to the top of the mountain. The view is beautiful.
