Majestic avenue of giant cedars leading to Togakushi Shrine's inner sanctuary.
The Togakushi Okusha Cedar Avenue is a majestic 2-kilometer approach road to the inner shrine of Togakushi Shrine in Nagano Prefecture, lined with over 200 towering cryptomeria cedar trees, many over 400 years old. The atmospheric path, flanked by the dramatic cliffs of Mt. Togakushi, creates one of the most photogenic and spiritual walks in Japan. The shrine complex has been a center of mountain worship and ninja culture for centuries.
