UNESCO World Heritage Site

Arrive at 8 AM for a quiet visit. The stream-side approach is wheelchair accessible, but the inner shrine's pebbled paths are not. The shrine's two large sand cones are rebuilt monthly; for the most pristine view, visit on the first of the month, right after their reconstruction.

Local tips

Visit on the fourth Sunday of the month to browse the lively handicraft market held on the shrine grounds.
