Takatsu Shrine features a unique style and profound historical heritage. The vermilion torii gate appears especially vibrant under the sunlight.
The century-old camphor trees on both sides of the stone steps filter out the urban noise with their dense canopies. Neatly arranged stone lanterns, each bearing the marks of time. At the end of the path stands a magnificent worship hall with flying eaves and intricate bracket complexes, carved beams, and painted rafters, showcasing the essence of traditional Japanese architecture in every detail.
The bronze lanterns in front of the main hall have oxidized to a verdigris green, creating a fascinating contrast with the freshly lacquered cypress pillars.
Address: 1 Chome-1-29 Kozu, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0072 Japan
