Takachiho Shrine, Shinto shrine in Takachiho, Japan.
The cedar-enclosed Takachiho Shrine features unpainted wooden buildings that stand among dense forest, reflecting traditional Japanese architectural principles.
Founded approximately 1900 years ago, this shrine holds deep connections to Japanese mythology and serves as one of the 500 original religious sites in the Takachiho region.
The shrine presents nightly Yokagura dance performances that tell the story of Amaterasu, the sun goddess, through traditional masks and musical instruments.
Located 15 minutes by foot from Takachiho bus station, the shrine charges 500 yen for adults and 400 yen for visitors under 20 years old.
Two interlinked cedar trees near the shrine form a natural attraction where local custom suggests walking around them brings fortune in relationships.
