And this is the actual top of the mountain. It might be no more than 233 meters above sea level. But then the surrounding basin is hardly above sea level at all, so it is an actual mountain. And it takes a while getting up and down, so allow enough time when visiting.

This is on the southern, shorter path to the top of the mountain. After quite a lot of stairs, you're finally reaching this and probably thinking yourself on the highest peak.
And thinking wrong! This is merely the second highest peak of the mountain. Still an important shrine, but not quite the top yet. And the rise to the top will have yet quite a few steps more.

A look down on the longer (eastward from the Crossroads) path to the top. Both paths still strewn with torii up to the top. This path is circling the mountain and approaching the top from the south-east.

The Crossroads are a, well, crossroads a good way up the mountain. Paths run down towards the inner and main shrine, northwards towards Tōfuku-ji, up to the third highest peak of the mountain and its shrines right atop the place and finally one east- and one southwards towards the top of the mountain. Paths splitting off those two and further down the mountain. The latter two also have a number of smaller shrines along the way.
The Crossroads is also a bit of an open space with snacks and seating available. And as you can see quite the view down the mountain. This is looking south-east with Osaka just visible in the background.

Echo lake, probably about a third of the path up the mountain. They say that the direction your echo gets thrown back from is your lucky direction. And that the time that has elapsed tells you how far off your luck is.

There's a small creek the path runs by on the way up to echo lake. If it wasn't clear before, this really shows you're out in the woods now. But nowhere near the top of the mountain yet.

Part of the path without torii and with some paths diverging and a number of stone lanterns instead. One to the left going down towards the main buildings, a pond and a sacret field. A path to the right leads up to a bamboo grove and further on along the mountain slope. The main path leads on up again after a bend.

Looking back onto the inner shrine area through the torii on the way further up. The twin paths seen before reaching the same area from down the small stairs and to the right on the picture.

View through one of the rare gaps towards the other path. As you can see, the names of the donators are written on the respective torii.

Going up the left of the two paths. The torii are standing so close here, it actually feels like going through a building.
