Takaya shrine (Shimomiya)

The gateway to the "Sky Torii Gate"

A step towards breathtaking views begins here.

This prestigious shrine, listed in the Engishiki (an ancient Japanese legal code), has long been affectionately known locally as "Inazumi-san."

For those unable to reach the summit due to physical limitations or time constraints, a "remote worship area" has been set up at the lower shrine for worshipping the main shrine. It is believed that praying here will grant the same blessings.
