Kasugataisha Shrine
春日大社 · Shinto shrine
The shrine's own pages record that the Main Sanctuary is open for general worship from 6:30 between March and October and from 7:00 between November and February, and that special worship of the Main Sanctuary carries a separate charge.
The shrine publishes three separate areas with their own charges: the Main Sanctuary, the Museum and the Botanical Garden. The sub-shrine Wakamiya-jinja is recorded separately in the national cultural property register and is not covered here.
