   5.2 km (approximately 10 minutes by car) The shrine is located in the forest, so care should be taken when there is snow.

   Kamo Shrine

   

   Kamo Shrine, which stands amidst a grove of cedar trees and has a majestic atmosphere, has been referred to as a power spot since it was featured on YouTube.
   The shrine is located in the mountains behind the Nakae village, and neat cedar groves line both sides of the gently sloping, straight approach road. The dense, humid soil keeps the approach road covered in moss.
   There are three shrines inside the roof, and the shrine buildings on the left and right are both one-bay shrines of the same size. The one on the left is Kamo Shrine, and the one on the right is Kifune Shrine and Kumano Shrine. The small shrine in the center is Inari Shrine.
   Please be careful when there is snow in winter.

   Jigenji Temple

   

   The ruins of Shuzan Castle, built entirely of stone walls by Akechi Mitsuhide, are said to be the largest mountain castle built during the Sengoku period in western Japan. At the foot of the castle ruins is Jigenji Temple, which enshrines a black-painted seated statue of Akechi Mitsuhide.
   There are few historical documents about Akechi Mitsuhide, and he is considered one of the most mysterious warlords of the Sengoku period, but Shuzan Jigenji Temple is home to a black, ink-painted seated statue known as "Kuromitsu Daiyuson."
   After subjugating Tamba, Akechi Mitsuhide ruled the region with good governance, and a seated statue was made in honour of his character and out of reverence. However, perhaps to avoid the stigma of being a traitor, the statue was painted completely black with ink and has been quietly enshrined by the people of Shuzan to this day as a secret statue unknown to the public.

   Sushime no Botan Nabe, a long-established ryokan restaurant: Reservations required

   

   After touring the winter countryside, you will warm up with a hotpot of wild boar hotpot in the warm tatami room of a long-established inn.
   Boar hotpot is a delicious treat that can only be enjoyed in the countryside during the cold season. The soup is a blend of homemade miso, which is unique to this long-established ryokan, and is topped with fatty wild boar meat and plenty of locally grown vegetables, which will warm you from the inside out.
   By the time the final udon noodles are added, the soup will have been simmered and thickened, making this a delicious hot pot that lasts until the very end.
   
   Lunch is from 11:30 to 15:00.
   As these are wild boars, please make sure to make reservations or inquiries by phone (075-852-0032) at least one day in advance.
