The over 1,300-year old large Japanese cedar tree on the grounds is said to be the biggest in eastern Japan, and has now become popular as a power spot.

An incredible x rated shrine. Well worth a visit - hilarious with somber overtones. Quite extraordinary.

I have seen many shrines in Japan, nut this one was so special to me. Just being in the presence gives you a feeling of the culture. Amazing plants and sculpture entrap you. I spent quite some time...
