Climb Green Stone Steps to Pay Respects at Ohira Mountain's Ancient Shrine

About this spot

An ancient shrine nestled halfway up Ohira Mountain, cherished by the community for generations. The long stone staircase from the Zuishinmon Gate below forms a verdant tunnel, creating a fresh and serene atmosphere. Reaching the top, the main shrine emerges amid the mountain air, allowing for quiet reverence. The shrine grounds, wrapped in summer greenery, are also popular as a peaceful walking path before the fireworks night.

Tips

From the grape orchard, drive 5 minutes to the parking area, then access the stone stairs. The stairs are lengthy, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Shaded by trees in summer and pleasant to walk, remember to stay hydrated.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour. Dappled afternoon sunlight makes the green of the stone steps especially beautiful.
