A total of 365 stone steps were built with the hope that the hot spring resort would be bustling all year round. Both sides of the stone steps are lined with spots for eating and drinking, amusement areas for shooting and ring-tossing, footbaths, and hot spring inns, making this a place where you can make many happy memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ikaho Onsen Ishidan-gai (Stone Steps Street) Day Trip Report<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, I actually visited Ikaho Onsen Ishidan-gai and took a day trip there.

The Ikaho Shrine is located at the top of 365 stone steps. You might be thinking, &#8220;365 steps? You might think, &#8220;365 steps out of nowhere?&#8221; but it is recommended to climb them first so you can get a general idea of where everything is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3899\" src=\"https:\/\/japanbusonline.com\/bus-repo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image22-e1646197207886.jpg\" alt=\"Ikaho Onsen Ishidan-gai\" width=\"591\" height=\"395\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After climbing up the stone steps for about ten minutes, we arrived at the top. This is not a big shrine, but it has a gentle and warm atmosphere, as if it is watching over the people from the top of the mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3903\" src=\"https:\/\/japanbusonline.com\/bus-repo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image23.jpg\" alt=\"Ikaho Onsen Ishidan-gai\" width=\"443\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/japanbusonline.com\/bus-repo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image23.jpg 443w, https:\/\/japanbusonline.com\/bus-repo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image23-249x300.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After my visit, I also received a red seal at the shrine office.
