The landmark is a large torii, which is about 34 metres high.

#aprilblooms It was founded during the reign of the 10th Emperor of Japan, Emperor Sujin, with the main deity. In 2004, it was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Since ancient times, it has attracted faith not only from the upper class but also from samurai and the common people, and it is said that it can be compared to "Kumano pilgrimage of ants" from the way worshippers are aiming for this place from all over the country and moving forward in a large number of people. In the precincts, a magnificent shrine with cypress roofs that enshrines Fusumi no Okami and Hayatama no Okami, including Ietsu Miko Okami, will welcome you. It is worth mentioning that traffic safety, great fishing satisfaction, family harmony, marital harmony and spiritual swordsmanship, and the depth of the embrace that accepts everyone regardless of status, young and old.
