Okamoto Shrine

Reviewed By PapagenaandPapageno - Los Angeles, United States

After making paper at the Udatsu craft museum/studio, and visiting the paper museum, eating fantastic soba the village is known for, my daughter (an artist) and I (a writer) had to go pay our respects to the Goddess of Paper. This temple was so lovely, and surrounded by some of the tallest trees we'd seen in our trip to Japan--like Douglas firs.
