You don't have to wonder the numerous shrines throughout Japan as you may be so tired of visiting each of them every time in trip over there. Nevertheless, in visiting of the shrines, you may be in observation to find out the mindset of perfectism in the Japanese culture reflected in the towns' surrounding town plan with green environment and the impeccable art works of the buildings. This Udo Jingu is one of the shrines that makes you surprised .You can be amazing of the fine works that the shrine was built in a cave on the cliff of seafront. It takes minutes' walk to climb over an orange-red colour arch bridge from the top of the cliff to the underneath seashore accessible to the cave. This will challenge your strength of feet. on the inclined bridge. Along the walking on the bridge,people can hear the repetitively deaftening sounds of sea waves hit strongly on the cliff. Near the cave, people can ses numbers of big eroded rocks by variant shape of lookings. Going inside the cave, unlike the prevalent shrines with magnificent building,you can just find a small shrine with a worship hall. Event though, it is a small shrine, this is another feeling of Japanese' s perfectism culture of architectural skill. Before you go, try your luck to throw a 100 JP yen at the back a tortoise sculpture among the rocks in the sea front. There is a small trick, the shrine's owner had made by a red circle on tortoise's back. You have to hit the bull's eye made by the very...

I visited this attraction spontaneously, without reading any reviews beforehand, and unfortunately, I paid the price for that lack of preparation.

An employee who was informing people in line tried to convince me to buy the bundle ticket for 2,400 yen, saying it would save me money compared to paying separately at each location within the area, which are spread out and require separate entry fees.

However, in reality, it’s just a tourist trap. Some of the areas charge 500 yen for entry, even though there’s just a single hot spring source to see – clearly overpriced. On top of that, two of the locations are about 2.5 kilometers away from the others, (which are relatively close to each other), meaning you’ll likely need to pay for a local bus ticket unless you're willing to walk.

And to make things worse, even after paying 2,400 yen, they still charge you an extra 10 yen for a paper cup if you want to drink from the spring.

Now, I’m not saying the attraction is bad – it’s definitely worth a visit. But considering the ticket price, I’d rather recommend visiting at most 4 of the ‘Jigoku’ (hells). That way, you'll save both your budget and your time for other, potentially more interesting things if you’re only in the city for a...
