💡 Tips for Visitors

The shrine is cash-only for offerings and purchasing amulets or fortunes. Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere. The 365 stone steps can be challenging, so wear comfortable walking shoes and take breaks at the tea houses and shops along the way.
