Step through the first gate and there you are. You are into the magic of Kyoto already!

 

There’s a Omokaruishi stone at the end of Senbon Torii. Try lift this up and if the stone is lighter than you thought it would be, your wish would come true.

Hmmm…..

 

Get Your Own Torii!

Did you know that these Torii gates are all donated by including private businesses or individuals. So you could do it also as long as you pay the price. This shows the price list and what size of Torii you can get. Interesting huh?
