Kumano Hongu Taisha Otorii is a massive torii gate standing tall at 33 meters, making it the largest in the world. It marks the entrance to the sacred grounds of Kumano Hongu Taisha, one of the three famous shrines in the Kumano region. The shrine enshrines multiple deities, including the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, and serves as the head shrine for over 3000 Kumano shrines across Japan. Visitors passing under the impressive gate can feel the spiritual energy and historical significance of this iconic landmark.
