Arrive at the Shipporyuji Temple, where ancient stone pillars line the path, adorned with red and black flags that herald its Shugendo roots. The temple complex is a fascinating blend of Shinto and Buddhist elements, featuring shrines, Buddhist statues, and a distinctive Hotei statue set behind a stone torii gate. The temple is nestled by the Inunaki River, surrounded by picturesque waterfalls and spiritual practice spots.
