Show Me Japan: Minatogawa



A row of vermilion-colored torii on the grounds of Minatogawa jinja, act as an entrance point - which also marks the sacred area of the shrine from the outer world - to this small but enchanting shrine. Alight only by the lanterns hanging from the celling giving the interior a luminous vermilion hue.

Photograph is my entry for this weeks Show-Me-Japan (Vol.1 Issue 8).

    Fantastic photo you have taken, although it must be cold when you photographed. I would love to visit there!
    Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
