This place is written as [湯澤神社] in Japanese.
Yuzawa Jinja Shrine is situated near Daiichi Takimoto Onsen Hotel, just before the entrance to Jigokudani.
According to legend, the shrine was established by Kinzo Takimoto, who dedicated his life to developing the hot springs of Noboribetsu at the end of the Edo era.
Yuzawa Jinja is renowned for its vibrant autumn foliage. Despite its small size, the shrine is charming and picturesque.
Visiting Yuzawa Jinja before heading to Jigokudani is highly recommended.
