Takaya Shrine (Shimo-miya)
観音寺市高屋町2730
Located in Kamagata City, Kagawa Prefecture, this shrine is also known as Inazumi Shrine. It is famous for the approach path extending from the lower shrine to the main shrine, the cherry blossom-lined avenue, and the Takaya Festival.
History
One of the 24 shrines in Sanuki Province listed in the Engishiki codex, it is recorded in the Heian-era 'Kamijō' (List of Deities) as 'Takaya Shrine in Kari-ta District, Sanuki Province.' Originally situated on the mountain peak, it was relocated to the mid-slope around 1600 and to the foot of the mountain around 1760. Fearing the curse of the local residents, the main hall was rebuilt on the original site at the peak in 1831.

What visitors say
The lower shrine of Takaya Shrine serves as the trailhead for hiking to the 'Sky Torii' at the summit, with a parking lot available. The grounds are quiet and serene, making it a suitable base for worship. The hike to the summit takes approximately 30 to 50 minutes on foot. As the path is a mountain trail, wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended.
