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.
