奥社への道は、とても緩やかな登り道で、最後は階段になります。 ゆっくり休みながら歩けば大丈夫だと思いますが、体調が心配な場合は途中で引き返すことも大切だと思います。 どうぞ、信州の旅を楽しんでください。

Hi, Chan. Thank you for having an interesting in Togakushi. Let me response your questions. 1. What is Cypress avenue? 2. Yes, of course. It is beautiful spot. 3. 2 days. I recommend to visit Zenkoji temple. It is so historical! Thanks, Hiroki

I went by my car. There is space for 100 cars. I hear that it is crowded in summer, but not so much in winter. The only way is to stop the car in the parking at the entrance torii of the Okusya and walk up to upper shrine. I went in January of this year. I took 1 hour return to the parking. It’s very cold and icy in winter. You’d better be careful!!

お問い合わせ有難うございます。 目的によって滞在時間も異なると思いますが、戸隠5社を徒歩で廻るので有れば丸一日時間を確保して欲しいです。 ゆっくりマイペースで散策してみてください。 お食事は「日本蕎麦　うずらや」が断然おすすめです。 これから日本は秋の長雨の季節に入りますが雨具の用意をして是非雨に濡れた木々の香りと瀟洒な神社をご堪能いただけたら嬉しいです。 良いご旅行を.(^O^)

We walked on paved paths and gravel near the upper shrine, there are some steps along the way, Stroller may not be ideal if you are taking the shuttle bus as there's no storage space available and the bus was a tight squeeze for us going from middle to upper shrines,

Take bus number 70 or 71 from Nagano Station in direction of Togakushi. Alight at Togakushi-Hokosha for the lower shrine (戸隠宝光社, 50 minutes, 1150 yen one way), Togakushi-Chusha for the middle shrine (戸隠中社, 60 minutes, 1250 yen one way) or Togakushi-Okushairiguchi for the upper shrine (戸隠奥社入口, 65 minutes, 1350 yen one way). There is roughly one bus per hour. Discounted round trip tickets are available between Nagano and Togakushi-Hokosha (2100 yen) and between Nagano and Togakushi-Chusha (2250 yen).
