Takaya Shrine Honmiya

〒768-0002 香川県観音寺市高屋町2800

4.6(2844)

Located at the summit of Inazumiyama Mountain at an elevation of 404 meters, this shrine is famous for its 'Torii Gate in the Sky' which offers a panoramic view of the Seto Inland Sea. It has also been selected as number 69 on the list of the 88 Scenic Views of Shikoku.

History

It is one of the 24 Engishiki-designated shrines in the Sanuki region, recorded in the Divine Name Register of the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) from the Heian period. Originally located at the mountain peak, it was moved to the mid-slope around 1600 and then to the foothills around 1760. Fearing the wrath of local villagers, the main hall (honden) was rebuilt at the original summit site in 1831.

What visitors say

The breathtaking view of the Seto Inland Sea from the torii gate at the summit is highly popular, allowing visitors to enjoy different natural landscapes depending on the season. Since the ascent from the foothills involves steep slopes and long staircases, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. There are vending machines, a Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamp) counter, and rest areas available at the summit.
