Locals also call it Kotsu Jinja, or traffic shrine, because it is said to bring luck in traffic safety. That makes it a favorite stop for drivers and commuters.

Visit in early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds. The shrine is quietest in spring, when the surrounding foliage is fresh.
The shrine sits at the foot of Shogoin; ask locals about the small stone lanterns tucked into the garden paths, which are often missed by first-time visitors.
Wash your hands and mouth at the temizuya (purification fountain) before entering the main hall. Speak quietly and avoid loud photography inside the worship area.
There is no admission fee. The shrine is open at all hours, but the office opens at 9:00 AM for goshuin requests. Wear comfortable shoes as the ground can be uneven near the shrine base.
Capture the vermilion torii gate framed by the green hills of Shogoin behind it. The angle from the left side of the gate includes the valley view.
