[Kagawa] Conquering the Sky Torii Gate ⛩️ The steep path to Takaya Shrine 🚶💨

Takaya Shrine ⛩ is a spectacular spot known as the "Torii Gate in the Sky." Located at the summit of Mount Inazumi, 404 meters above sea level, the panoramic view of Kannonji and the Seto Inland Sea beyond the torii gate is truly breathtaking! 📸✨ However, getting there requires a bit of a "mountain climbing" mentality.

The path to the shrine is quite steep, with many unstable sections, so sneakers are a must. 👟 Heels and sandals are a big no-no. While there is a route up to the nearby parking lot, space is limited, so arriving early on weekends is recommended. To avoid the crowds, aim for early morning or evening.

The moment you reach the top and the magnificent view of the torii gate, blue sky, and Seto Inland Sea unfolds before you is so moving that it makes you forget the fatigue of the climb. It's a special experience that not only creates great photos, but also leaves you with a sense of accomplishment. Takaya Shrine is a spectacular spot worth visiting precisely because it's "a difficult journey to get there."

Prepare yourself and give it a try!
