Really enjoyed the architecture at this shrine, beautifully carved, colored and maintained. The shrine ground is built on the side of a mountain, so expect lots of steps to reach the upper shrine. It takes about 30 mins to complete a visit but spend the most time at the upper shrine! As that is the most detailed area, starting from its entrance gate.

Wonderful place to visit specially during cherry blossom. From Matsuida Station, walk few minutes to this temple area. The temple itself is quite magnificent, and there are some nice cafes and even a museum in the surroundings. Past the temple, the hiking trail to Mount Myogi starts. The main path is a medium level hike (you can choose more demanding routes if that is what you want, with rocky hills and cliff to cross with chains). We did the hike but visiting only the temple was worth coming.

I've visited dozens of shrines, and this one is probably my favorite. So much beauty has to be illegal!

Beautiful temple full of nature and traditional Japanese architectures! They synchronize really well with all things there! The myogi mountain background is also breathtaking scenery as well. Today was a bit rainy day but if you look out from the top of the place you’ll see the beautiful city of Takasaki! The place is really clean so be respectful and keep it nice and cozy! Come and enjoy! Cheers 🥂

An amazingly beautiful place with a huge area to walk around. You can also buy different omikuji and get a goshuin!
