About Ishizuchi Jinja Chugu Jojusha
- Since the shrine is located at a high altitude of 1,400m, we highly recommend wearing sturdy hiking boots and bringing warm, layered clothing.
- Using the ropeway is the easiest way to reach the high-altitude area, from which you can enjoy a scenic walk to experience the atmosphere of Jojusha.
