❑ Togakushi: A Sanctuary of Spirit and Nature
Togakushi offers a profound connection to Japan’s ancient roots through every season.

The Giant Cedar Avenue: Walk the iconic 2km approach to the Upper Shrine, lined with over 200 giant cedars planted 400 years ago. It is a world-class “power spot.”

Legendary Soba: Savour Togakushi Soba, one of Japan’s three most famous styles, served in the traditional “Bocchi-mori” style using pure mountain spring water.
