Ikuta Shrine

One of the most important Shinto shrines in the area has recently installed these tori gates.

The purpose of the gate is to divide our world and the spirit world. The shrine exists on a place that overlaps with the spirit world. Therefore, they are holy places where the spirits are more likely to hear your prayers. Torii gates mark the entrance to this area.

Very Japanese!
