A Forest Hike to a Secluded Shrine
A Forest Hike to a Secluded Shrine
Soothe your soul on a guided walk through Mount Daisen's Japanese beech forest
Relish the sounds of birdsong, the murmuring of rivers and the rustling of the wind in the lush forests of Mount Daisen. Along the way, learn why Ogamiyama-jinja Okumiya Shrine is considered to be one of the finest shrines in Japan. The natural stone pavement that leads you to the main shrine building is the longest in Japan, and the location has remained unchanged for nearly 1,000 years.
These points and more help you to feel the weight of the history and tradition behind this beautiful building. You will also visit other historical places, including Amida-do Hall, designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
