It's a nice shrine, there are a few steps to reach the top and it feels like it's really in the middle of the forest. Very peaceful.

Nice little temple 🙂 Nothing so special about all these temples but the pilgrimage walk could be nice. Walking the 3 first temples was good idea (took me 2-3h), specially if you enjoy being away from the big japanese cities and seing some country side and random casual life of Japan. The garden of this temple is particularly relaxing
