One of Japan’s most popular shrines, it welcomes visitors in the hundreds through it’s massive torii (pronounced torey-ee) gates every day, but sees millions for New Year’s blessings. At any time during the rest of the year, Shinto weddings can be seen here on a regular basis – a delightful sight for visitors from afar.
