Whatever the faith or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Check out Dewasanzan Shrine and share a moment of silence with the local faithful.
Located in Tsuruoka, this sacred place is well worth a visit. But you'll find loads more to see and do in this area. Mount Haguro, Shonai Movie Village, and Gassan are within close reach of Dewasanzan Shrine.
