What other travelers are saying about Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine
Beautiful spot in November with great autumn colors. Probably the most crowded of the sites we saw in town, but with the exception of one large tour group that took over the stairs for a photo the experience was otherwise not impacted. The higher up you go the quieter and more peaceful it became.
Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine has such a calm and peaceful atmosphere. It’s surrounded by beautiful flowers and offers a lovely scenic spot for photos. Though it’s not a large shrine, it’s the perfect place to relax and feel a sense of tranquility in Takayama. 🌸
This is an exceptionally-maintained shrine. It has a clean and well-kept outdoor area, a stall with goshuin, and two museums. The whole place has been designed for tourists. Unusually, the museum exhibits not only have English descriptions but also non-Japanese audio guidance. Please visit this place if you are in Takayama.
