Wakasabenten Eshima Shrine

Our Favorite Spot in Wakasa

We can't stop coming back. So peaceful walking up the path alongside the waterfalls to the shrines at the top. Every time we go we have the place to ourselves.

Benzaiten in the mountains of wakasakura

Original Text

I went by car from Wakasa Station. Visited with Wakasa Oniga Castle. The road is separated from Oniga Castle on the way. Park your car in front of the torii gate and climb the stone steps in the forest from there. A clear stream flows next to it, and there is a sacred atmosphere. After climbing the stone steps, you will find the hall of worship and the main shrine. It makes you feel the history of the mossy chozuba. A red stamp of "Fukutoku Treasure" is placed.

Favorite approach

Original Text

Japanese people like wabisabi, for example, some people like koke, but for Westerners, it is a symbol of dampness and free weeds. It may have been a good time, but I liked the fluffy approach to the crab.

The road is very narrow. Only snakes ... It seems to come out.

Original Text

I drive up to the mountain from the town of Wakasa, but the road is very narrow. If you go up the narrow road surrounded by cedar trees, you will reach the approach to Ejima Shrine. It's called Benzaiten, so a snake is enshrined, but I was very scared because I was likely to encounter a snake along the way. There are no street lights, and if it snows, there will be no snow removal, so I can't reach it very much. If you really want to go here, we recommend that you go with several people during the summer day.
