You can't help but feel the power of the cedar trees, some over 400 years old

[Togakushi Shrine] 📍Address: 3506 Togakushi Nakasha, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture 《Access》 Approximately a 1-minute walk from the Togakushi Nakasha bus stop / Alpico Kotsu Nagano line Approximately a 4-minute walk from the Nakasha Daimon bus stop / Alpico Kotsu Nagano line Approximately an 8-minute walk from the Komyoin Iriguchi bus stop / Alpico Kotsu Nagano line ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ When you think of Togakushi Shrine, you think of the cedar trees. This is an absolute must-see. From the large torii gate at the entrance to the inner shrine, you'll see a carpet of autumn leaves and fallen leaves. As you walk toward the sacred grounds, you'll come across a vermilion-lacquered gate with a thatched roof. From here, a row of cedar trees over 400 years old stands. The scenery is majestic, and you can't help but feel a sense of power. It took about an hour to get here, as I was taking photos. We ran out of time to go to the inner shrine, so we headed back. #Nagano #TogakushiShrine #CedarAvenue #PowerSpot #TravelWithPochiKatsu

[Togakushi, Nagano] A journey through the cedar trees into sacred grounds: A journey to reconcile your soul at Togakushi Shrine Okusha 🌲✨ Togakushi Shrine Okusha, located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, is a mystical shrine nestled at the foot of the Togakushi mountain range. Believed to have been founded before Christ, it enshrines Ameno Tajikarao no Mikoto, the god who opened the rock cave in the legend of Ama-no-Iwato. Located at the innermost of the five Togakushi shrines, it truly deserves to be called the "realm of the gods." From the entrance to the approach, the cedar trees stretch for approximately 2km, lined with giant trees over 400 years old, and just walking along them is enough to cleanse the soul. At the midpoint, you'll find the Zuishinmon Gate, and from there, the sacredness of the path increases dramatically. The path to the Okusha is a somewhat steep slope, but the shrine building at the end is truly majestic. The dignified atmosphere permeates the silence, helping you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 📌 Useful Information Address: 3690 Togakushi, Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture Access: Approximately 1 hour bus ride from JR Nagano Station, then a 40-minute walk from the "Okusha Iriguchi" bus stop. Clothing: Comfortable shoes and warm clothing are essential. Nearby Food: Famous Togakushi soba restaurants, such as Uzuraya and Sobanomi, are dotted around the area. Togakushi Shrine Okusha is also popular as a power spot. Why not take a leisurely stroll through the cedar-lined streets with your spouse and feel the presence of nature and the gods? #TogakushiShrine #Okusha #NaganoTourism #TogakushiSoba #PowerSpot #CoupleTrip #ShinshuTrip #HealingForest #0YenTrip2025Autumn
