Yahiko
7.2
Lower score (below 6)
Yahiko exists almost entirely around Yahiko Shrine (Iyahiko-jinja), one of the oldest and most important shrines in the Niigata region, said to have been founded 2,000 years ago. The village has a hot spring district next to the shrine grounds and gets heavy domestic tourism on weekends and holidays. The social fabric is built entirely around religious tourism and is closed off and seasonal in character. Brief cultural stop, nothing more for a foreign man.
