Takayama Shrine, known locally as "Kozan-san," is located near the ruins of Tsu Castle and is dedicated to Todo Takatora, the first lord of the Tsu domain. Founded in 1876, the shrine serves as a guardian for local commerce and industry, and is cherished by the city's residents. While the shrine itself is small, it offers a peaceful atmosphere and a connection to the area's history. Visitors can easily access the shrine from Tsu-Shinmachi Station or while exploring Tsu Castle Park. The shrine is particularly lively during the Shichi-Go-San festival. A visit to Takayama Shrine provides a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Tsu.
