Absolutely stunning historic Shinto shrine (that becomes even more beautiful in autumn). It is a huge complex tucked away in a very peaceful natural setting. It is a bit less crowded and touristy compared to some other places, which is quite refreshing. You can take a leisurely walk, soak in the atmosphere, and get a sense of history and nature blending together. Definitely worth considering if you're seeking a more relaxed and authentic experience.

*You can also do one of those cool water-revealing Omikuji here. There is no English translation for them, so get ready your google translator app.

If you're up for a somewhat steep but short hike, be sure to visit one of its most beautiful parts - Two shrines built on the cliffs of Mt. Hachiōji, where you can also enjoy a nice view of Lake Biwa.
