Small rural Shinto shrine (Koyasu-sha) set among cedars and lanes in Yawata, Chikuma. Photograph its simple wooden architecture, red torii, stone lanterns, and mossy steps; seasonal contrasts (fresh green, autumn color, or light snow) make the site especially photogenic. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft side light; weekdays reduce visitors. Accessible by car with roadside parking nearby; observe quiet and remove shoes where required. No formal entry fee.
