We visited this shrine while on a cruise ship excursion from Toba. It is not very far from the port, and definitely worth visiting. Our five-hour excursion from Toba included the Grand Shrine and Okage Yokocho shopping area at Ise, the Futami Okitama shrine, Meotoiwa, and Pearl Island at Toba. This is a very spiritually meaningful and interesting place.

The Yokoyama observation area offers views over the Ago Bay. There are several observation decks connected by a promenade, and take-out food can be purchased at the Tenku Cafe Terrace rest area. The surrounding area is rich in nature and a recommended hiking spot.

This shrine is the smaller one, situated not far from the town center. It is great to stroll around, and enjoy the atmosphere of greenery and mystery that floats around. You can end up in little trails in the forest, and really feel the nature around you. I visited this shrine before the bigger one the next day, and it's a good thing I did. It's like going to a different scale.
