J	Jonathan Garvey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quite a large religious complex, on Mt Hie, between Kyoto and Shiga . There are 3 famous stone bridges , temples..there is also a golden rock ( catches the sun at dawn ) at the top of the mountain ..I have never made it that far ...If you go past the main hall there is also a small river with a bridge and a soba restaurant overlooking a large waterfall...nice if you want to eat with the sound of rushing water ....

T	Trans-word plus TGM on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The grand shrine of Hiyoshi ( Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine ) is located in an are of Sakamoto in Otsu City of Shiga Prefecture. The shrine is known as the head shrine of approximately 3,800 shrines holding the name of Hiyoshi in Japan. The main object of warship in this place is a deity of Sanno which is the king of mountains. The shrine was built on the eastern hill side of Mt. Hiei which serves itself as a border between Kyoto and Shiga. The famous symbol of Hiyoshi Taisha is a monkey called Masaru which is a messenger of the shrine found in the precincts of 400,000 square meters. The original form of the shrine was built before century in the 7th year of the time of Emperor Sujin which is over 2,100 years ago. There is a unique form of its torii gate with triangular shape on its top. There is an access to Enryakuji Temple next to the shrine with a service of a rope way to the top of Mt. Hiei. Upon your visit in Autumn, you can go on an illuminated maple leaves viewing tour along with neighboring Saikyoji Temple in its north. Trans-word+ : TGM Japan Guide
G	Geert Rinkel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the greatest shrines in all of Japan. The size and number of the buildings is overwhelming. I highly recommend visiting the Sannomiya sub-shrine on top of the mountain if you're reasonably fit and in for a climb.
M	Mathew Fedley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Large historic shrine which has an entrance fee which is rather unusual I'm Japan. The grounds are rather large and costs 300 yen to enter.
B	Brian Rooney on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the older and more historically significant Shinto shrines in the area. It's a convenient stop if you are headed to Enryaku-ji, and won't take all day to explore.
K	Kyoto Dream Trips on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Various pictures of the many autumn spots of Hiyoshi Taisha (日吉大社) in Ōtsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Hiyoshi Taisha shrine, its grounds are very large and the shrine is situated on the foot of mount Hie.
C	Corbin InJapan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One place in Shiga prefecture you should DEFINITELY make a stop at. Beautiful hiking area and one of the cheaper entrance fees. SO MUCH to discover in the surrounding area!
