●Points
Kotohira Shrine, famous for "Sanuki Konpira-san"
785 steps from the approach to the main shrine
1,368 stone steps to the inner shrine
The gates open from 6am, so you can enjoy a refreshing view while working up a sweat before breakfast
The round trip from the inn district to the main shrine takes about an hour
It's the season for fresh greenery now, so you can have a very pleasant morning
In the Edo period, like Ise Shrine, Kotohira Shrine was a place that many people longed to visit, as it was "a place you want to visit at least once in your life"
You'll understand if you climb up 🤭
As the sun begins to rise, the shops along the approach become lively and you can enjoy it
