Terukuni Shrine, located in the center of Kagoshima City.
If you want to feel "very Japanese" or have a Japanese experience, I will recommend you to visit there :)
This is called Tori Gate, it is the entrance to the sacred world.
Let's go through it!
When you enter the shrine, you may notice this first...
Can you guess what it is...??

It is the Podocarpus macrophyllus shaped of symmetrical crane.
Crane is the symbol of the Shimadzu Nariakira, who was the 28th load of Kagoshima and
Terukuni shrine is dedicated to him.

Before going in front of the worship hall, you are requested to purify yourself using these ladles.
Wash your hands then lince your mouth.
