It took me about one hour from my house to Furumine-jinja. We really enjoyed the autumn leaves at Kohoen which Furumine shrine owned and located nearby.
The reason why Kobugahara is famous is that Shoto Shonin who is the father of Nikko trained himself before he concured Mt. Nantai. Since then Monks trained themselves at Kobugahara until Meiji period. Furumine Shrine in Kobugahara has been regarded as a mecca for those who believe in spiritual creatures in mountains more than 1,200 years.
