The shrine at Shiragiku Waterfall. Most of the stone used to build the shrine, from the pillars to the decorative torii gates, is covered in moss. There are also more miniature red torii gates laid out around the shrine. The stone torii gate leading towards the shrine has shimenawa hung on it. Behind this torii gate, the waterfall can barely be seen, as a thin flow of water out of a pipe, which extended from the river running down the mountain.

   After reaching the top, we began to make our way back down. We encountered another branching path that led to Shiragiku Waterfall (白菊の滝), so we decided to take another detour.

   There was a shop along the way, but being off the main path, I wonder how much business it gets? Anyway, we followed a really small river, and eventually arrived at the waterfall.

   Since the river wasn't big to begin with, the waterfall was honestly quite underwhelming. But there was also an entire moss-covered shrine there! That made the effort worthwhile.

   We returned to the main path and continued our descent, but it started to drizzle, so we rushed through the end.
