Shrine Entrance

It is said that the shrine was relocated from the southern end of Naka-Ōike to its current location.
The shrine is nestled at the base of a towering mountain and surrounded by a dense forest.
Upon passing through the red *ryōbu-torii* at the entrance, the *kagura-den* appears along the ascending path.
The worship hall is built on a raised platform, overlooking the shrine grounds which are open and spacious.
