✨ Highlights
Walking through the 91 red torii gates feels like stepping into a movie scene
Greeted by fox statues in front of the main hall — symbols of the guardian deity of grains
Experience drawing a fortune slip (via vending machine) & making a wish with bells and claps
Enjoy a peaceful view of Ukiha from the marble benches

🌅 Travel Tips
Arrive around 6:40 PM in May to enjoy both the sunset and the illuminated torii gates
Quiet and serene, but it might feel a bit eerie if you're alone at dusk 😆
