[Personal Recommendation]
Access：★★★★☆
Refreshment：★★★★☆

The temple is located on the top of Mt.Mitokuyama(900 meters altitude) where is in the center of Tottori prefecture.
It takes 60 minutes from the entrance to the Nageiredo hall by foot. The road is pretty treacherous because they are very steep and precipitous slopes. So trekking shoes are definitely required or you will be asked to put Warajis(sandals made from straw rope) on.
On the way to the top, you can see many temples.

YOU CAN NOT ENTER THE MOUNTAIN BY YOURSELF. YOU NEED A COMPANY.

It was a very tough experience to climb up to the top but once I reached the temple, I forgot tiredness. Nobody is able to go into the mysterious temple. How it was build, who build, what it is for are still unknown.

A lot of footmarks on rocks.
