Local Pick
Overview
Mountaintop torii gate at 404 meters framing a panoramic Seto Inland Sea view.
Perched 404 meters atop Mount Inazumi, the main shrine's torii gate frames a sweeping panorama of the Seto Inland Sea and Kanonji city below, creating the illusion of a gateway floating in the sky. The 90-minute hike up the mountain path rewards with one of Shikoku's most dramatic photographs. Selected as one of the 88 scenic places of Shikoku in 2018.
