Tenguiwa Shrine - Agatsuma District

Naganohara-machi, Naganohara, a local shrine. A festival will be held on April 17th and October 17th.

There is a prominent shrine and an Okunoin in the back of the mountain!

I stopped at Unrinji's parking lot and tried to walk, but I couldn't find a way at all when I walked around, so I gave up worshiping when I entered the mountain a little.

I've been there a long time ago. It is said that other people do not know the entrance to the worship, but if you walk from the town hall to the pedestrian bridge at the end of the slope, you can climb from there because you can see the torii gate on the right side, just before the tall building of NTT. It's a little deep, but you can see it from the road. However, it was quite a slope, rock, and beast road, so I don't recommend going easily. There was a monkey droppings in the precincts, so there may be wild animals ... But if you come here, you can get a panoramic view of the town of Naganohara.
