Takaya Shrine in Kagawa's Kanonji City is also known as the "torii in the sky" ⛩️

Perched atop Mt. Inazumi, this shrine offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. This is one of my favorite places I have visited in Japan!

Once again, it's a bit tricky to get here - the easiest way would be by car. You can also prebook a shuttle taxi that will take you up and down for 1000¥ each way. There is no public transport available. You could also hike but that would take about 1,5-2 hours one way.

Also don't forget to check out their unique vending machine once you're up, where you can buy goshuin (seal stamps) and ema (wooden prayer plaques). 💮
