Takimiya Shrine

Highlight • Religious Site

The "Takimiya Shrine" is a small and in its simplicity particularly beautiful shrine. It lies on the "Daishoin Route" to the "Mt. Misen, "picturesquely below the" Shiraito Waterfall. "

View of the Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Azumaya Observation Deck you have a great view of the "Itsukushima Shrine" with its gigantic Torii. A good place to take a short break halfway to the summit, especially at almost 35 ° C.

Komagabayashi Stone Dam

Highlight • Monument

During a typhoon in September 2005, a slope in the »Komagabayashi Forest« started to slide causing a mudslide. This damaged the "Daishoin Temple" and many other cultural assets.
