sanctuary at the back mountain in the wild forest

The Kume Kifune shrine faces the local river and a side-road of the Old Trade Road to Izumo,
now the prefectural road 429.
It is located on a hill above the village Kuwakami 桑上, with steep steps up.

There was no access road for cars, so in modern times the villagers build one from the "back side", cutting through the mountain and the pristine shrine forest and reaching the "Wolf Shrine" first, then going down to the main shrine.

The slopes of this cut are quite remarkable, with sand waves, overhanging tree roots and small bonsai-like fern islands on the slopes.

Here are some impressions:
