Photogenic torii tunnel in Shibuya! "Toyosaka Inari Shrine"

Hi! I'm Izumi, a photo spot explorer.

This time, I went to a photogenic spot in Shibuya where you can take pictures of a torii gates tunnel.
The famous "thousands of torii" is Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, but there are also several spots in Tokyo where you can see it.

In this article, I'll introduce one of them, the Toyosaka Inari Shrine in Shibuya.

Toyosaka Inari Shrine, where you can see a thousand torii in Shibuya

Toyosaka Inari Shrine is a 5 minutes walk from Shibuya Stream near Shibuya Station.

It is a little smaller shrine across the road from Konnoh Hachimangu Shrine.
This is a quiet and calm spot.

There are several steps in front of the entrance of the shrine and the torii gates are lined up at the above them.
This time, I'm going to take this photo from the side of the "Hyakudo stone" at the center of the top of the stairs!

The angle is important! Shoot the angle of that the tunnel looks long!

Actually, this torii tunnel is not very long.
It is recommended that you utilize the tunnel turning to the right and shoot as if the torii gate is still ahead!

In my case, I set up the angle so that the pillar on the left of the last torii is as close as possible to the pillar on the right at the corner of the tunnel in front.
Looking at now, it looks like the lanterns on the left are a little too stand out, so be careful if you take photos here...!

Check out the photogenic vermilion precincts!

At the back of the torii gate is a shrine hall with a "beautiful" vermilion color, and foxes are sitting on either side of it.

There is also a Chozuya, Shinto water ablution pavilion, on the left after entering through the entrance.

If you're looking for a quiet place in Shibuya, you must visit here!

In this article, I introduced the photo of the torii tunnel, which you can take at the Toyosaka Inari Shrine in Shibuya.

It was such a calm space surrounded by greenery that it was hard to believe it was so close to Shibuya Station.
This is a great spot not only to take photos but also to walk around from Shibuya!
