Main Hall
Kompirasan, formally known as Kotohiragu, is a highly popular shrine in the wooded hills of Kotohira. Its main hall stands at the top of almost 800 steps, but is still only half the distance to the inner shrine (okusha).
More Buddhist temple than Shinto shrine in the past, worshipped by seafarers and visited by pilgrims from across Japan, Kompirasan was officially made a shrine in the beginning of the Meiji Period in government efforts to separate the two religions.
