I visited Uesugi Jinja when visiting Yonezawa and I definitely would recommend it to any visitors! This temple was peaceful to walk through and take in the beautiful nature surrounding it. The temple was quiet and not crowded. Around the temple was a beautiful river the many coi fish that locals were feeding with bread. This was something so special and pure to witness. This temple sold Goshuinchou and omamoris.

Majestic and historic shrine, built on the grounds of Yonezawa castle. A local ski instructor that we met at Tengendai Ski Area kindly brought us to this must-visit historic and spiritual site in Yonezawa city. Very cool history and statues of Uesugi Yozan!

Shrine to the great samurai warrior Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578) of the warring states period. Kenshin ruled Echigo in the days before the Uesugi clan was sent to Yonezawa after opting for the losing side against Tokugawa Ieyasu at Sekigahara (1600)
