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.
This is a BEAUTIFUL shrine up a little hill in the outer part of the city. Loved the calm and relaxing vibe you get there, the architecture was amazing and all the green surroundings of the shrine.
Beautiful shrine and buildings in this area! Super clean and well made carpentry!
