Takinoo Shrine
滝尾神社Tochigi · Kanto
A moss-covered shrine in deep cedar forest about half an hour uphill from Nikko's main precinct, reached by a stone-paved path along a stream. It is dedicated to the consort of the deity enshrined at Futarasan and keeps a three-holed torii through which visitors try to throw pebbles for luck.
