Yahiko Shrine
Echigo Ichinomiya has a history of over 2,400 years. It is said to have originated that Amenokagoyamanomikoto, who was a great-grandson of Amaterasuomikami, was buried in Mt. Yahiko after him cultivated the country of Koshi and people built a shrine there to worship him.
After walking along the approach lined with ancient giant trees, you'll reach the shrine grounds. This is definitely a must-visit spot when touring Niigata!
