Sochu Shrine

Spend a quiet time with Yoshino cherry trees at Munetada Shrine on Mt. Yoshida

The shrine is located on the western slope of Mt. It is dedicated to Kurozumi Munetada, the founder of Kurozumi Kyokai, which is known as one of the three new religions in Japan along with Tenrikyo and Konko Kyokai. The shrine was founded in 1862 after receiving part of the shrine grounds from Yoshida Shrine.
Along the side of the long stairway leading to the precincts of the temple are several Someiyoshino cherry trees, forming a tunnel of cherry blossoms. Looking back at the top, you can see the three-story pagoda of Shinnyo-do Temple peeking out from the sea of cherry blossoms and Mt.
