Soon from the start point is the Kora Taisha Shrine. Walking under the large stone tori gates, it is said that the god of this shrine purified his hands. From here you can visit the rare bamboo woods which are designated as a national natural monument.

If you go further into the Kora Taisha Shrine you will find the Okunoin or inner sanctuary that has 61,000 azaleas across 100 different species. In April the flowers will be in full bloom.
