Well worth the visit. Quite small -- some beautiful sections.Uniquely Japanese -- a shrine that somehow blends Shinto and Buddhist religions !
Off the beaten track and very pieceful

The history of the place is fantastic. The bamboo walk is tranquil and not at all as crowded as the overrated bamboo forest near by.
