This is the first building you enter from the side of the shrine office.
The plaque has the words ``Tosho Daigongen'' written in Emperor Gomizunoo's handwriting.
It has beautiful colors and is decorated with statues of tapirs and other animals.
There are statues on both sides, and colorful guardian dogs on both sides of the back.
Both are fun to watch.
Climb the long stairs from the approach to the shrine, and you'll reach this magnificent vermilion-painted gate that stands even higher up against the blue sky.
The brightly colored sculptures are also amazing!
The guardian dogs inside the Kongo fence on the left and right sides of the back are also a color that I have never seen before.
