This is one of the best trail I ever experienced in Japan. Hope you’ll try to visit this sacred place and don’t forget to buy local products there, like houji tea and spinach powder and so on.

Not your typical “wow at first glance” temple — but somehow, that’s exactly what makes it so special. Yes, there are quite a few stairs to get up there (you’ll feel it), but the whole approach through the forest is absolutely beautiful…

Breath-taking views on the way to this temple make the trip well worthwhile. The temple itself is humble and well maintained. I have attached a map of the trail to the temple in the photos section to assist those wanting to make a visit.
