 Tips about Asuka Kawakami-ni-Imasu Usutakihime-no-Mikoto Shrine

Asuka Kawakami-ni-Imasu Usutakihime-no-Mikoto Shrine is a primitive Shinto shrine with no main hall, dedicated to the deity Usutakihime.

- What to do: Climb the long, straight staircase to reach the worship hall at the top, visit the torii gate, and explore the grounds covered in moss.
- What to avoid: The shrine staff mentioned that the shrine might be unmanned at times, so plan accordingly for getting goshuin stamps or other services.
- Tips: Take your time climbing the stairs to enjoy the scenic views, visit during the Tsunakake Festival on January 11th for a unique cultural experience, and consider exploring other nearby attractions like Asukaimasu Shrine and old-style cafes near Asukadera Temple.
