Vehicles may drive up close to the shrine. As you walk through the path lined with large cedars, you will be greeted by a hawk instead of the guardian dogs which is typical of a shrine. Go up to the peak. Although there are some fir trees from the woods on the premises to the national forest, most of these are Japanese evergreen oak, including Akagashi (Quercus acuta) and Urajirogashi (Quercus salicina), whose sub tree layer and shrub layer consist of Isu Tree (Distylium racemosum), Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), Japanese cleyera (Cleyera japonica), Yuzuriha (Daphniphyllum macropodum), and Hainoki (Symplocos myrtacea), where evergreen trees dominate. Sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua) also grows naturally. You might also find marlberry (Ardisia japonica) and autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) there.
