Approach of Myoken-jinja Shrine

Family temple of Lord To who ruled Gujo in the Middle Ages. Yamazakura and Yoshino cherry trees are planted along the approach for about 250 meters and have been selected as one of the "33 Hida Mino Sakura Selections" in Gifu. Every year from early to mid-April, beautiful flowers are blooming making it a tunnel of cherry blossoms in spring, and cluster amaryllis decorates the banks on both sides in autumn. Every year on August 7, Nanukabi Matsuri Festival (Gifu Prefecture Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property) is held, and after the annual festival, "Takigi Noh Kurusu Sakura" is performed as a dedication. Myoken-jinja Shrine is also designated as a natural monument of Gifu.
