Compare the visit scope, transport notes and prayer traditions of the shrines currently listed here. This is a selected guide, not a complete regional directory.
Compare three different Ehime visits: Oyamazumi on Omishima, Isaniwa near Dogo Onsen, and Ishizuchi’s lower honsha in Saijo. Island transport, stepped approaches and intercity travel matter as much as precinct time. Ishizuchi’s summit climb is a separate trip.
