Tateshina Shrine is a beautiful and historic shrine located at the summit of Mount Tateshina. The summit is a flat land with all rocks, and it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The shrine itself is a hidden gem that’s not often visited by tourists, but it’s definitely worth the hike to get there.
From the Tateshina Mountain Trailhead in Nagano, the climb up to the summit is relatively gentle until reaching an altitude of 2,120 meters, where there is a rest point. From there till the summit, the slope increases, and the weather becomes harsher with strong winds.

– About me –
Hello! I am a long-time resident of Japan and I currently live in Tokyo. Over the years, I have been bringing together locals and foreigners on hiking trips as a way of fostering cultural exchange. When we’re out in nature, we’re all in our natural state, and that’s when the magic of cultural exchange and human interaction happens. It’s amazing how nature can be the perfect ingredient for building lasting connections and friendships.
