Togakushi Shrine Nagano: Full Walk & Guide

This video is a full guide to visiting Togakushi Shrine in Nagano, Japan. It includes the famous cedar-lined path, key information about the shrine’s background, and a look at what hiking the full pilgrimage route to the summit actually involves.

You’ll walk with me through the shrine approach, learn about the mythology behind the area, and then follow the old mountain trail past the shrine and up to the peak. You’ll see chain climbing, knife ridges, and what hiking looks like here in the warmer months.

Even if you’re just planning to visit the shrine, this video will help deepen your experience by showing what each part of the trail means and how it all connects. And if you’re thinking of doing the full hike, it shows you exactly what to expect.

Why it’s useful:
Most visitors stop at the shrine. This video shows the full pilgrimage trail — combining cultural insight with real trail footage — so you can enjoy the experience more deeply, or follow along from wherever you are.
