Keta Wakamiya Shrine

One of the models for Miyamizu Shrine, where the sisters dance. A long cedar approach up a hillside.

A shrine on the hillside above Hida-Furukawa, reached by a long stone approach through cedars. It is cited as one of the models for Miyamizu Shrine in the film — the shrine where Mitsuha and Yotsuha perform the ritual dance.

Why it is worth it

The Tokyo steps get all the visitors, but the countryside half of the film is where the story actually lives.

When to go

Quiet.

Good to know

It is an active local shrine. Bow at the torii, keep it brief and quiet. The approach is a genuine climb — allow 15 minutes each way from the town.
