About this spot
Takayama Inari Shrine in Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture, is a spot where you can enjoy fantastical scenery as if you had wandered into another world. The top highlight is the "Thousand Torii," which continues winding like a dragon through a Japanese garden. The contrast between the layers of red torii and the surrounding greenery and ponds is picture-perfect from any angle, and it is attracting attention from Japan and abroad as a photo spot sure to shine on social media. In the vast precincts are enshrined deities of business prosperity, safety at sea and a good harvest, and it has long gathered the faith of local people. From the elevated spot beyond the torii, on a clear day you get panoramic views of Mt. Iwaki and the Sea of Japan, refreshing both mind and body. Why not get away from the bustle of the city and enjoy a stroll while looking at the beautiful scenery in tranquility? It is perfect for making memories on a girls' trip, for a family drive, or for time alone to reflect. This place, which changes its expression with each season, will give you an unforgettable impression once you visit.
