π‘ Tips for Visitors
The camphor tree is located within the free-admission shrine grounds, but consider purchasing omamori (protective charms) at the shrine's main hall with cash. Visit early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds and experience the tree's serene atmosphere. The tree is just a short walk from the main hall; follow signs for 'Okusu' or look for the impressive tree visible behind the shrine buildings.
