Pretty shrine with a koi pond and nice view of the mountains and city. There are a few steps up to the top but easily manageable.

A nice hilltop shrine that offers a lovely view of the city, even at night! Multiple tori gates and a small climb lead to the main shrine where you can pray , get your fortune, and enjoy food and drinks if they are hosting a festival at the time.

Beautiful shrine with a tranquil feeling. There are information posts for each shrine which we used google camera translate to decifer the texts. Very interesting history. There is a free animal park nearby ad well.

Beautiful shrine with a lot of stairs. When you go in summer it’s very exhausting to go up the stairs, but luckily they had a ventilated resting area. The shrine was clean and well managed. They also have guide brochures in English that talks about the history of the shrine.

Amazing shrine full of history. We had to climb 200+ steps to reach it, but it was well worth the effort as we could also see Nagasaki from the top. Even though we went on a rainy day, it was really beautiful.
