What a wonderfully beautiful place. Climbing all 2,000+ steps is doable, but was definitely a workout for myself and those around me. The shrine itself is interesting, but the interaction with the Yamabushi monks and the amazing peace of the climb up and down are what makes this one of the best visits on my trip to Japan. The 300-500 y/o trees are the reminiscent of the California redwood forrest, just smaller, though magnificent all the same. Also, visiy the small museum in the visitor's center (take shoes off and take hallway on right).

Fantastic to visit. Bit of effort to get too if you take into account trains buses and walking but it's well worth the effort in my mind. It was raining heavily day I came but still went all the same due to effort I put in to get here, the rain cleared and ended up being a beautiful walk all be it wet. Climb up is not step considering everything so not hard it however is a effort all the same. A little over 2000 steps isnt easy. You are able to catch a bus up and down but you miss 90% of the beauty that way also.

This was my second time climbing Mt. Haguro. Today, I initially planned to only walk to the Five-Story Pagoda and back, but I ended up going all the way to the top. The stairs can be steep in some areas, so take your time and walk carefully. I’ve climbed in both sunny weather and after rain, and I felt safe on both occasions. It wasn’t busy on either the weekends or weekdays. I wouldn’t mind doing the climb a third time if I’m in the area. If you’ve done it once, it feels easier the next time.

Power spot inside the mountains. Amazing view of the mountains, specially when some snow is remaining. Hiking course is famous, which is around 1 hour from the start. According to the local people there are around 2000 steps to climb. Haven’t seen this kind of a big roof in a shrine. Design, thickness of the roof are rare to watch. At the entrance in the main road you have to pay ¥400, for washrooms ¥100 minimum for welfare purpose. Big enough car park is there.

We started at the five floor pagoda, and instead of walking for 45 min we took our car. It was a ten min drive, and 400 yen fee. But the trip was worth it, the temples are beautiful and when we were there it was raining which only added to the atmosphere. You only need around 15 min to see the complex, and an hour for the entire complex (including the drive)

出羽三山の月山は終了していたので今回は羽黒山神社⛩️と湯殿山神社⛩️に参拝しようと思いまずは、羽黒山神社の随神門近くの駐車場に止め社務所に伺い「石段詣」を知りました。お注連(しめ)は結界を意味し山中の魔障が憑かないようにするもので結袈裟の様なもので縁紐🟢健康運🟡財運の二本を結び背中側に紐を掛けます又大好き💕な龍神巡りも有り、この日は朝から雨☔何も知らない私はワクワクしながら現世の幸せを祈りながらいざ出発🎵 随神門の先は昔のままの自然の森を下って行きます お社を通り神橋を渡ると須賀の滝、爺杉は千年以上の大杉、威厳のある堂々とした佇まい💕そして 国宝五重塔、圧倒的な存在感です♪見応えあり そしてその先を左手に見ると一の坂、えっー凄い坂が待っていました さあここからだ!登っても登っても階段、石段に枯葉そして雨で濡れている💦傘をさし60代の私にはキツイ😂スニーカー👟では 不安、さらにニの坂これも急な見上げる様な坂🤣 パーカーですが暑い11月なのに汗が出る💦 やっとニの坂茶屋🍵、休みたいけど先に進む事に 時間との戦いです 下調べなしで挑んだ今回、途中で2446段と判明、ここまで来て引き返せない! 進むしかないニの坂の先は平らな歩道?が少しあり こんな筈はないと進むと見上げる坂は三の坂これには笑うしかない、もう修行🧘だと思い「修行」と唱えながら一歩前へ、現世の幸せは忘れ、無の状態で一段登るだけ、この先が最後と思いながら先に⛩️が見えた時は最高でした⛩️の先に龍神様がいらっしゃる厳島神社が出迎えてくれました🐉🐉🐉 達成感で🈵でした😋最初は写真を撮ったりゆっくりお参りしましたが2時間位掛かってしまいました 三神合祭殿では結婚式が始まろうとしていて、神様が歓迎して頂いていると思い感謝しお参りしました 東照社もあり集めている御朱印も頂き合掌🙏です 今思うと下調べしてからだと石段詣していないかも なので今回はご縁を感じ感謝しかないです 帰りは滑って階段落ちして病院にお世話になるといけないのでバス🚌にしました!五分遅れでバスに乗れなかったので、お店で休みお蕎麦を頂き次のバスで、結局最初の社務所に戻ったのは4時すぎ なので湯殿山神社⛩️は4日までで終了でしたか行けませんでした😂これも前向きにまた来なさいね❣️と思いこれで終了です ありがとうございます😊 体力を考えてゆとりを持ち計画してみて下さい🐉
