This ancient shrine is in middle of city, and is pretty peaceful as well. Need to climb a few stairs to reach the top, isnt much of a problem for anyone with average health. The compound is also beautiful ,worth spending sometime here.

Begin at the giant torii on street level and climb up a very long, steep set of stairs to approach the entrance gate to shrine. Before you get to this, there are lanterns and statues off to the side and another smaller temple awaits you. Back to the stairs for the final ascent. The temple compound has all the requisite buildings typical of shrines, along with the torii tunnel to an inari shrine to one side of the main hall. There is a small covered arcade with benches where several local mothers with children were enjoying a beverage and popcorn which they were feeding to the birds. It was sakura season when we visited and there were a few lovely, large trees in bloom. When we finished our visit, we took a different set of stairs down, which was more fluid and followed a meandering route down the hillside.
