Best Shinto shrine in japan

c	chrzt Kho on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its another dimension. Looks like you go to another universe when you came to this place. Its been there for almost 8 centuries, this place still looks dope. Your gonna find a different experience when you visit this place. This shrine open everyday, but not 24 hours.
N	Nelli Greenwind on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very old great center of culture. Not so many people here, greeny tiny yard. Near jinja is nice street with many restaurants, parking is very close and free of charge.
G	Gustavo Sakita on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful temple! Place of peace and tranquility, where the landscape brings a good refuge for meditation.
A	Alex Johansson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Suwa Grand Shrine (Japanese: 諏訪大社 Hepburn: Suwa taisha), historically also known as Suwa Shrine (諏訪神社 Suwa Jinja) or Suwa Daimyōjin (諏訪大明神), is a Shinto shrine in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is considered to be one of the oldest shrines in existence, being implied by the Nihon Shoki to already stand in the late 7th century. It certainly carries a pride of place and there are thousand year old trees around the shrine. Set in a peaceful tranquil forest. A Shinto ceremony was held as we passed by for a large Japanese company and its staff.
A	Alexie Mobley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This area has many beautiful shrines. The Shrines are all next to the mountains, so you feel connected to nature. It is a really peaceful here.
H	Howard Banwell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We enjoyed this shrine very much, tranquilly located on the edge of a forest and seemingly in harmony with the grand, towering trees that surround it. It is hard to appreciate Shinto shrines if you are not Japanese, or don't have a cultural and aesthetic understanding of their meaning, architecture and significance. But this one is just naturally attractive even if, like us, you have little understanding of what you are looking at. So much beautiful wood in the construction, and a pleasing absence of the signage that seems ubiquitous at many such places and that so badly mars the aesthetics. Easy to get to by car, with free parking available nearby. Not sure how to go about getting here by public transport.
A	Adrian Santos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited in late January. One one hand it appears run-down—some structures were off-limits due to renovation, but on the other, it just feels really ancient. I did a little bit of research on this place prior to visiting (as we should, to appreciate the place more), and I knew this shrine is very culturally significant and one of the main ones in the country. It’s considered a power spot by many, but the only power I felt was the cold fingers of winter tucking themselves down behind my neck. It was cold. This shrine is one of the Suwa shrines that house the sacred logs that some brave, brave people ride down a mountainside during a festival that’s held every 6 years or so. I forget the name. I’m writing this on my phone half-dizzy after a strenuous hike.
S	Scott Combs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a huge complex. I liked how everyone was dressed in traditional clothes and taking care of the site. It was cool to see a blessing being performed for safe travels for a truck driver and his companion. I was able to get the shrine stamps here. Everything was so well kept. I liked the sumo shrines that where as well which was cool. After visiting here I ate some nice jelly like noodles at a nearby shop which was perfect for the very hot day.
