Togakushi Shrine

Long time no see and I'm back with photos from our trip to Yamanashi and Nagano last month.

The famous Togakushi Shrine sits in the Mount Togakushi area consisting of five shrines -- Houkousha, Hinomikosha, Chusha, Kuzuryusha, Okusha. The major three are Okusha, Chusha and Hokousha, also know as upper, middle and lower shrine.
The Mount Togakushi has been considered one of the most famous "power spot" containing mysterious energy :)  and the Togakushi Shrine is said to be established 210 B.C.
The pash leading up to the upper shrine has all the gigantic cedar trees and it was purely inspiring.

I would really suggest a trip to this area if you have the opportunity to visit Nagano.
Or if you live near Tokyo it can be a perfect weekend getaway too! =)
