This was in the Dogo Onsen area as well. These are the stairs to Isaniwa-jinja Shrine. There were a lot of them and they were very uneven and kind of difficult to walk up and down. This is the temple we were looking for when we accidentally ran into the one mentioned in the previous post. It is the first of eight shrines in Matsuyama dedicated to the god of war. It was built on the location where the emperor used to stay a long, long time ago when he went to Dogo Onsen. In order to see it, you have to climb all these stairs, which is the case with most cool things in Japan. You have to work for it to see it!
This dragon was the first thing you saw after you climbed all those steps. I was tired so I stood here for a bit to admire the scenery before moving on.
