💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit early morning (7-8 AM) to enjoy the bamboo groves with fewer crowds and soft natural lighting. The shrine is free to enter and open 24/7, though some smaller shops only accept cash. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the bamboo areas are located along mountain trails with uneven stone paths and stairs.
