Know before you go

Pair your visit with the adjacent Man'yo Botanical Garden if you want more than the shrine grounds in one stop.
The shrine and nearby Kasugayama Primeval Forest are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing 'Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara'.
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the approach passes through Nara deer park and long lantern-lined paths with over 3,000 stone lanterns.
Expect free-roaming deer near the approach and shrine grounds; keep papers or snacks secure since the deer come close to visitors.
