It takes about 50 minutes on foot from the bottom to the top. But there's a secret way by car. The roads are mostly narrow and winding but reachable on the weekdays when few cars go up the hill at the same time. But not on the weekend. Along with a nearby beach named chichibugahama, the shrine will be the one that has not yet been explored much. Having said that however, English articles about the shrine has already been uploaded like this one. It was a beautiful day, a break in the middle of the rainy season in Japan, when I was there.
