Takayama Inari Shrine
shrine
高山稲荷神社
Surreal dragon-like path of red torii gates winding through a garden.
Located on the remote west coast of Aomori, this shrine is a spectacular hidden alternative to Kyoto's Fushimi Inari. Dozens of bright red torii gates snake through a meticulously kept Japanese garden featuring ponds and bridges. The shrine is dedicated to the gods of harvest and maritime safety, offering a peaceful, otherworldly atmosphere without the crushing crowds of more central landmarks.
