Look for the row of torii gates! Takayashiki Inari Shrine, a power spot in the mountains

a shrine that has protected the prosperity of this area since ancient timesThe Takayashiki Inari Shrine.

What catches your eye is the row of torii gates that suddenly appear in the tranquil scenery of the Koriyama Eastern Wide Area Agricultural Road, so anyone passing by without knowing about them will likely take a second look

There are about 100 of these impressive torii gates. They are votive torii gates, and each one has the name of the donor engraved on it. 100 may seem like a lot, but before the war, there were an astonishing 4,000 torii gates stretching all the way to Maiki Station. You can really feel the deep faith that the local community had

When you actually walk through the torii gate, the combination of the rural mountain scenery and the red torii gate creates a fantastical atmosphere

There are two approaches to the shrine, Omotesando and Higashi-sando, and Higashi-sando is drivable by car. Driving through the torii gates is a rare experience. (Higashi-sando is only accessible uphill.)

What kind of space awaits you once you pass through the series of torii gates? Be sure to visit with all your heart and soul
