[Kotohira Shrine] A must-visit place in Kagawa Prefecture!

Located in Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, Kotohira Shrine is a recommended spot representing Kagawa Prefecture. Even though you have to climb a long flight of stairs to reach the main shrine, worshippers from all over Japan and even overseas continue to visit. There are 785 stone steps from the entrance to the main shrine and 1,368 stone steps to the inner shrine. However, it has been the dream of ordinary people since the Edo period to visit Konpira-san at least once in their lifetime. The scenery changes with the seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas in early summer, and autumn leaves in autumn. You can feel the history from the colorful wooden shrine building. It is a tourist spot rich in good old nature! Please visit it. #Breathtaking view #Japanese scenery #Encounters on a trip #Shrine #Kagawa Prefecture #Shikoku #Breathtaking view

Kotohira Shrine Located on the hillside of Mount Zozu at 892-1 Kotohira-cho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, this shrine has been worshipped since ancient times as the god of agriculture, production, medicine, and the protection of the sea. There are 785 steps, but there are souvenir shops along the way, so it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The view after the climb was very refreshing! There are a total of 1,368 steps to the inner shrine, but I couldn't go after 5pm. Next time I'd like to head there earlier. The starting point of the stone steps is a 20-minute walk from JR Kotohira Station or a 15-minute walk from Kotoden Kotohira Station. #summertrip#greatview
