A peaceful shrine nestled in the middle of the forest. The torii by the lakeside is very pretty and picturesque, though there was a long queue to take photos up close. We didn’t join the line since we were part of a tour group and had limited time. There are plenty of other torii and smaller shrines to explore around the area. The weather was cool and pleasant in November.

If you're exploring the Yamanakako area, this spot is a m...

An impressive torii gate on the edge of lake Ashi. It is a 15 minutes walk from the pier/bus stop. When you arrive at the gate, some people elect to have their picture taken from distance or with people in the background to avoid waiting. Alternatively, you can queue and then you can have your private time right in front of the torii gate. There are signs to say that you should limit your time t...
