Takayama Inari Shrine
高山稲荷神社
Takayama Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Tsugaru City, in the west of Aomori Prefecture. It is famous for its long rows of red torii gates, which create an unusual, dreamlike path. The gates look beautiful with cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green in summer and white snow in winter, so the shrine is popular with photographers.
