Hie Shrine

Japan, 506-0822 156 Shiroyama, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture

Hie Shrine is a place where you can feel the power of nature in a very refreshing place with lush trees. It is also famous as the shrine that served as the model for Arakusu Shrine, which appears in the popular anime Hyouka, which is set in Takayama. The large cedar tree in front of the shrine that is over 1,000 years old has been designated as a natural monument by the prefecture, and the magnificent large cedar tree with its long, straight branches is truly impressive! ! Hie Shrine, the guardian deity of the southern half of the former Takayama castle town, is a very famous shrine as the place where the annual Takayama Festival (Sanno Festival) is held, which heralds the arrival of spring in Takayama.
