One of the most famous ancient temples in Tohoku, and it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The environment is peaceful, relaxing, and quiet. The famous Golden Hall is absolutely stunning and luxurious—definitely worth a visit.

Komuroyama Ridge Walk “MISORA”
A scenic new landmark in Ito City within Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, offering sweeping views of Sagami Bay and Mt. Fuji. The wooden deck known as Komuroyama Ridge Walk “MISORA,” built at the summit of Mt. Komuro, is a 166.3-meter promenade stretching along a ridge at an elevation of 321 meters. From the open deck with nothing to block the view, you can enjoy spectacular scenery where the sea and sky seem to blend into one.
The summit deck is a great place to just sit and zone out. Even 10 minutes there feels worth it. The walkway is very clean and well maintained, so it feels comfortable and easy to walk.

Izumo Taisha
Izumo Taisha is one of the most revered, ancient shrines in Japan, along with Ise jingu Shrine. Its records go as far back as writings from the Kojiki, Japan’ oldest historical account compiled in 712. The deity enshrined here is Okuninushi no Okami, who is known as the deity of love and marriage.。
This is the gathering place of the gods in Japanese mythology and a famous shrine for those seeking love and marriage. There are also lots of rabbit statues around the grounds, which adds a cute touch to the sacred and solemn atmosphere.
