こうのたに・Konotani
This hamlet is situated just a short hike away from OpenCafe 秀. Head south and cross the red bridge. Head into the woods and continue on for about 10 minutes and you will find 若年神社（十二社神社）This shrine is not accessible by vehicle and is somewhat of a hidden treasure. Finding it feels like you have found something magical. Although the shrine feels like it has been lost, the murals on the side of the painting are still vibrant and are unlike anything you will find anywhere else in the village.
The shrine can be found on Google Maps but the road is not clear or maintained. It is only requires about 10 to 15 minutes of walking, however if accessing the shrine in warmer seasons be very careful of poisonous pit viper snakes （マムシ） and giant Japanese wasps( スズメバチ). Bites and stings from either of these can be lethal and it is not recommended that you ever venture far into the forests of Kawakami alone for these reasons.
