Very peaceful and serene place. Seeing the shrine’s first cedar tree which could possibly be more than 1,000 years old was awesome. Easy to walk to from our hotel close to the train station.

We managed to stumble into a traditional music performance at this shrine at night, during which it was also beautifully illuminated. Magical experience if you manage to make it here during moments like this. Also gorgeous at sunrise or sunset.
