About 1km north of Futarasan-jinja close by the Shiraito Falls, is this serene, delightfully less crowded shrine that has a history stretching back to 820. The stone gate, called Undameshi-no-torii , dates back to 1696. Before entering, it's customary to try your luck tossing three stones through the small hole near the top.
Maps available at the tourist offices show the route to the shrine, which also passes the tomb of Shōdō Shōnin.
