[2025 Totsukawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Tamaki Shrine (Updated Jul)

#aprilblooms A sacred place of Shugendo located directly below the top of Mt. Tamaki at an altitude of 1076 metres. At the time of Emperor Jinmu's eastern expedition, it is said that he rested his soldiers in this place and prayed for good luck, and he has gathered faith as the inner temple of Kumano Sanzan. It is registered as a constituent asset of the World Heritage Site "Sacred Sites and Visiting Roads in the Kii Mountains" and the historical site "Omine Okukado". Although you can go by car, you need to be careful when driving because there is a narrow mountain road with ninety-nine folds. It is not uncommon for snow to accumulate in winter. In addition, there are many days when thick fog occurs, and the precincts are surrounded by a fantastic atmosphere.

#FuriTabi This time, I came to offer my thanks with my cousin from Tokyo. This was my fifth visit, but my first formal visit. I first came to Tamaki Shrine four years ago, and since then, the flow of my family has changed dramatically. Please come and visit the shrine. Please note that for formal visits, men must wear a suit, and women must be dressed in a similar outfit. I wore a navy blue dress. It is better to wear something with sleeves, not sleeveless. 📍Address: 1 Tamakigawa, Totsukawa-mura, Yoshino-gun, Nara Prefecture 647-1582

#japantripTamaki Shrine is a sacred place that perfectly fits the phrase "a place you can only go to if called by the gods." Its deep history and mysterious atmosphere give a unique charm to visitors. The journey to the shrine is like an adventure crossing the mountains, and once you arrive you are enveloped in a sacred atmosphere. Once you visit, you will never forget the special atmosphere, and you will want to return again and again. However, because it is a sacred place, it is required to pay respect and quietly purify your mind.
