When you go visit a shrine, you will see a red gate called ` tori-i ` in Japanese.

In our village, the big one in the first picture is known to everyone as the first gate. But it is not correct. Actually it is the second ( maybe the third ) one.

To explain this I went to visit the first one with Fusae-san 83. I've heard about the first one for a long time, but I didn't really know how it looks like.

It is in the middle of the paddy field and you can only get there on foot. It's just like a small mound, but if you try to remove it or dig it, you'll have to face with strange accidents....  A bit scary but when I got there I felt something quiet energy.....
