Takaya Shrine's main shrine, known as the "torii in the sky," sits atop Mount Inazumi in Kagawa Prefecture. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea and Kannonji City from this elevated spot. The shrine is also called "Inazumi Jinja" or "Inazumi-san," and features a challenging climb up steep stone steps to reach the top. It's a popular spot for those seeking blessings of family safety, prosperous business, and more.
