Flow of the course

About this spot

A historic temple on a high plateau near Torride Station, known for its unique spiral-passageway temple building called "Sazaedo" (Sazae-do). From the temple grounds, you can view the townscape of Torride and the direction of the Tonegawa River, allowing you to spend a peaceful time. During the hot summer hours, the green trees create a pleasant shaded area.

Tips

It's about a 10-minute walk from Torride Station on a high plateau. If you can visit inside the Sazaedo, confirm the hours and conditions. Since there are stone steps, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Best time to visit
