Detailed Travel Guide

Enshirnes: Amenotajikaraonomikoto (天手力雄命)
Kuzuryu Shrine enshrines: Local god. It is older than Okusya.

The cedar avenue was planted in 1612.

The legend said, when Tajikaraonomikoto threw the Amano iwato, the rock of the sky to hide Amaterasu, the rock flied all the way to Mt. Togakushi. The name of Togakushi was named after this story. Therefore, all of the gods enshrines in Togakushi are related with this story.

It was founded as Sugen-do temple. It was one of the famous sacred spots in Heian Period and many practitioners of Shugen-do visited this temple. In Meiji period, it was separated and became shrine.
