    Definitely come here on a clear night! It’s so pretty and worth the climb of 200+ steps to the top!

    A short stop will do, especially if you’re an international tourist. Shrines and temples are pretty much the same unless you’re a history or mythology buff. Orihime was the daughter of the Sky King, Tentei, and used to weave clothes for him by the heavenly river, the Milky Way, when one day she met a herdsman called Hikoboshi who worked at the other site of the waters. The two fell in love and got married, but after the wedding they both neglected their work, so Tentei separated them and forbade them to see each other – except on the 7th day of the 7th month, which is now the date of Tanabata. Highlights here would the rainbow tori gates but it’s a pity you can’t take a shot of them all at once. At the bottom of the stairs (through the rainbow tori gates) is a metal box that plays music. The night illumination is supposed to be good but it was difficult to fit it into the schedule.

    Beautiful shrine with views over the city. The recent addition of a winding stairway through the trees with many coloured gates is very I.pressive.

    A beautiful shrine with an old famous Japanese tale called "Orihime and Hikoboshi." This is the place for romantic partners.

    I enjoyed this place. It's a beautiful shrine but if you don't like stairs make certain to take a taxi around the back way instead of walking the traditional path because it definitely took a chunk of energy out of me. There's a soba restaurant here but I didn't try it. If you are in the Ashikaga area, then this is a nice place to visit but there's not much to do besides admire the shrine (which is fine unless you want to spend a lot of time here for some reason) I also highly suggest taking a bit longer route to walking here (Orihime Jinja) and visit Banne-ji temple on the way. It's a nice temple and you can spend more time there and it even has a playground and walking paths through a beautiful garden.

    Pretty nice place and temples. There's even little ⛩️ like in the fushimi inari in Kyoto. Very Instagrammable

    Cool place to come during nighttime when at Ashikaga. Just go up a flight of stairs and you will see a temple area thats lit up

  • 5/5 Renante D. 5 months ago on Google
    It's really beautiful. You can see the whole city of Ashikaga on the top of the mountain. Awesome place to enjoy the city view and especially during autumn the leaves change it's color from green, yellow to orange and it's really fantastic.
