What other travelers are saying about Tanzan Shrine
Place a pin on the map, maneuver your vehicle up the meandering road, not so deep in the mountain, stand a temple, a shrine, a hidden treasure full of stories. Even if we put all those studies aside, it’s still a scene, a view to behold. Quiet. Everything is really quiet. Tranquil, at ease, sublime, make your way through the hilly holy ground. Look up and back, there is another breathtaking beauty. Five star for sure. FYI, we were the only visitors during our venture.
I visited during snowfall, with few people around, making for a serene and beautiful experience. I truly enjoyed the moment. Took the shuttle bus from Sakurai Station—be sure to check the schedule in advance.
Amazing Shrine built on the hill. It required considerable amount of walking from the carpark with steep steps.
The 13-storey pagoda was the only one in existence in Japan. With fall colours as the set off, the scenery was breathtaking.
It's worth all the effort made.
I liked our visit at Tanzan Jinjia. It is a very quiet place surrounded by nature and located on the side of a small hill.
The ascent to the top is very peaceful and from there you will have a nice view. To get to the top the train in the forest is also a picturesque one. When we were there not many people were visiting which made it a better experience.
Close to the entrance there is a parking spot if you are coming with a car but we used the one located next to the convenience store which was free and empty considering that there were not many people around.
Absolute fun on an Autumn day. Now is the time. Leaves reaching peak. Interesting 500 year old temple converted into a massive shrine especially for those seeking love. Great little udon place reasonable just to the right of the main entrance. Parking near ¥1000 in November but free lots nearby with a little walk. Don't turn sharp left to the shrine direct but continue down the road above to free lots. Just a lovely day trip. Area has other shrines, temples, and museums in stunning scenery. Even the Lawsons are in old style buildings.
