At Mitsumine Shrine, wolves are considered to be the messengers of the gods and wolves have traditionally been worshiped as gods who protect people from disasters.
It is popular "Enmusubi Tree" which is said to be an 800-year-old sacred tree that will bring good luck to couple.
There are restaurants and souvenir shops.
We enjoyed just Mitsumine Shrine and restaurants and souvenir shops. It takes just about an hour to look around the shrine.
But if you want to enjoy a hiking, we recommend you to go Okumiya of Mitsumine Shrine and you can see so beautiful view from the top of the mountain.
※It takes 3 hours as total to climb up and down the mountain, round trip.
Please note that Okumiya is open from around May to October and you cannot enter the mountain outside of this period.
