Good place to appreciate the tranquility of Japanese shrine. Famous for the thousand years old cedar. Fans of the Japanese animation movie "your name" shall not miss this place. Be reminded to prepare 5yen coins if you plan to make a wish.
Getting and Leaving : not well connected by public transportation. There are infrequent bus running with stop here. Visitors who plan to travel by taxi would better download apps to call one. You're lucky if you see a taxi available for hire passing by...
It is a 30mins walk to town without shed.

Peaceful place! Such a beautiful to be here. 1000 years okd cedar and cikadas make you a company. Omikuji, clean water. Jinja is a part of great history of Takayama city. Must see!
