Before I share what I consider to be the best shrines in Japan to visit, here’s a brief look at the history and beliefs of Shinto, along with the main components of Shinto shrines in Japan. Itsukushima’s exceptional architecture and eye-catching location are why it’s one of my favourite shrines to visit in Japan. One of Tokyo’s Oldest Shrines Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine is not as grand as some other shrines in Japan, but it’s an interesting place to visit because of its historic and cultural significance. Since it’s located on the side of Mt. Arakura, almost 400 steps above the main shrine buildings, there’s a panoramic view of Fujiyoshida city and Mt. Fuji in the distance.

Here’s a look at our experience hiking Ladder Canyon Trail, plus some tips to help you plan your own Ladder Canyon hike! Ladder Canyon Trail is a 7.2 km (4.5 mi) moderate hike in the Mecca Hills Wilderness Area of southern California. The trail can be hiked in either direction, but I recommend going clockwise so that you are climbing up the ladders to the ridge instead of coming down them at the end of the hike. Ladder Canyon Trail is near the community of Mecca, California, in the Mecca Hills Wilderness (between Highway 111 and Interstate 10).
