This is a biased review as I'm a member of this spiritual organisation. This building is the World Shrine for the Creator God and it welcomes people of all faiths. Members consists of people from various faiths, and participation in Mahikari is complementary to all existing religious traditions. Members learn to give an energy from the palm of the hand (Divine Light), and this energy nourishes the soul and enables people to experience a better spiritual, mental and physical state. If you have some time to spare, its definitely worth a visit, but the building may be closed to the public depending on what events are happening there for members.

The temple and shrine pale when compared to the amazing ones in Kyoto, Tokyo, etc.. That said, go see it anyways - it is between the JR train station and historic district, so is on your way. The amazing thing to see is the 1200 year old ginko tree. It is 10 feet wide and nearly 100 feet tall.

This is a very quiet Shinto Temple, easy walk from the station (10-15 minutes) walk. A long the lane leading to the temple are old Japanese house. The temple is free and very nice surrounding. Quiet as not too many tourist visit it. Mostly local Japanese tourist come to pray. There is museum/exhibition hall at the entrance of the temple that shows Takayama Festival Floats. Worth a visit.
