What other travelers are saying about Tanzan Shrine
Amazing Shrine built on the hill. It required considerable amount of walking from the carpark with steep steps.
The 13-storey pagoda was the only one in existence in Japan. With fall colours as the set off, the scenery was breathtaking.
It's worth all the effort made.
I liked our visit at Tanzan Jinjia. It is a very quiet place surrounded by nature and located on the side of a small hill.
The ascent to the top is very peaceful and from there you will have a nice view. To get to the top the train in the forest is also a picturesque one. When we were there not many people were visiting which made it a better experience.
Close to the entrance there is a parking spot if you are coming with a car but we used the one located next to the convenience store which was free and empty considering that there were not many people around.
The peaceful surroundings and well-preserved architecture provide a tranquil escape, perfect for anyone interested in Japan’s cultural heritage and natural beauty. Visiting Tanzan Jinja is a delightful experience, especially during the fall season.
Absolute fun on an Autumn day. Now is the time. Leaves reaching peak. Interesting 500 year old temple converted into a massive shrine especially for those seeking love. Great little udon place reasonable just to the right of the main entrance. Parking near ¥1000 in November but free lots nearby with a little walk. Don't turn sharp left to the shrine direct but continue down the road above to free lots. Just a lovely day trip. Area has other shrines, temples, and museums in stunning scenery. Even the Lawsons are in old style buildings.
Stunning autumn colors in full bloom !! Lots of vendors selling snacks and local products on the way to the Jinja. Parking was quite easy probably because we visited on a Monday.
