Upper Togakushi Shrine

Kids’ Ninja Village

The &quot;Huyin Shrine&quot; hiding in Nagano Prefecture is not only an ordinary shrine, it is located in the legendary Tianyanhu seat of Seto Hidden Mountain, making people seem to be in the mythical world. The shrine consists of five shrines: Olympic, Jiutoulong, Zhongshe, Baoguang and Yuzi of Fire, each of which exudes a sacred and mysterious atmosphere. Bring hiking shoes and prepare trekking poles, let&#39;s explore this mysterious holy mountain together! 📍 Address: 381-4101 Transportation Guide: From Nagano Station, take bus No. 70 for about 50 minutes to reach the shrine. It is recommended to take the bus at Station No. 7. There is a small ticket office opposite the station. You can buy tickets and receive the map of the shrine 📜. If you drive by car, there is a parking lot next to the shrine, which costs only 500 yen a day. ⏰ Opening hours: The shrine is open all year round, but it is recommended to visit during the daytime. Many tourists recommend spring and autumn festivals. The weather is pleasant and the scenery is more beautiful. Especially in autumn 🍁, the pine trees on both sides are dyed golden, which is very suitable for taking pictures. 🚶&zwj;♂️ Hiking Raiders: It takes about half an hour to walk from the main road trail to enter the shrine on foot. The tall pine trees on both sides of the road are full of tranquility. But be aware that the last section of the path will become steep and full of stone steps, it is recommended to leave some physical strength to climb slowly. You can also stop on the way and find a small attraction to take pictures ☀️. 🗓 Note: 1. During the Golden Week at the end of April, there is a large flow of people and it may take a long time to queue up. 2. You can still see snow in winter. Please wear suitable shoes and it is best to carry trekking poles. 3. ATMs in the scenic area are limited and do not necessarily accept foreign cards, so it is recommended to prepare cash in advance. 4. There is no Chinese explanation in the shrine, and some simple Japanese is required or a translation app is prepared in advance. 🍜 Surrounding gameplay: After visiting the shrine, you may wish to experience authentic Nagano cuisine. Along the trail, you can find many restaurants, especially recommended &quot;うずら home&quot; buckwheat noodles, a hot bowl of noodles will definitely warm your body and mind. At the same time, you can try &quot;three different flavors of ice cream&quot; Soba tea, green bamboo leaves and pizza. 🌲 Additional recommendation: After visiting the shrine, there are many attractions worth exploring in the surrounding area. For example, walking to the beautiful Mirror Lake to enjoy the tranquil lake view is very suitable for shooting blockbuster movies 📸. If you are a ninja movie fan, you may as well go to the nearby ninja village to experience the life of a ninja. In short, the Huyin Shrine is not only a shrine, it brings people a dialogue between the mind and nature, a encounter with history and legend. Whether it is faith, hiking or simply traveling, it will give you an unforgettable journey. I hope you can also find your own tranquility and beauty in the arms of this ancient forest. 🌿
