Nyakuoji Jinja Shrine is particularly popular in late
autumn (fall) when the leaves of the surrounding trees have turned various
shades of orange and red. It is also a popular place to escape from the
summer heat. Nyakuoji Jinja Shrine was established by retired emperor Goshirakawa in 1160 as a guardian shrine for Nyakuoji Temple.
Repairs on the then four buildings were carried out around the end
of last century. In 1978 the entire shrine was combined into one
building.
The nearby mountains contain some very picturesque waterfalls, ancient trees and unusually shaped boulders.
