Buses toward Chuzenji Onsen use the Nishi-sando-iriguchi stop, about 10 minutes on foot. By car it is listed as about 10 minutes from Nikko IC.

Planning sightseeing around dialysis

Visiting hours are 8:00–17:00 from April through October and 9:00–16:00 from November through March, with reception ending 30 minutes before closing. Admission to the Main Shrine garden is charged. Visiting several Sannai shrines and temples involves walking between sites and within their grounds, so allow for that movement and check current reception times and fees in the official information.
