Otorii, Oseihara (Old Shrine of Kumano Hongong Shrine) Japan - Takayama Otoji, Wakayama Prefecture - Kumano Honmiya Shrine

Otorii Osaihara (former site of Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine)

The tallest torii in Japan is a torii with a height of about 34 m in Kumano Hongu Taisha (Osaihara) in Wakayama Prefecture. The former shrine site where Kumano Hongu Taisha used to be. A large flood that occurred in August of 1887 swallowed the main shrine of Hongu Taisha and many of the main shrines flowed out, so the four shrines that escaped the flood were relocated to the current location of Kumano Hongu Taisha. In Osaihara, a small stone shrine is built to enshrine the four middle and lower shrines that were washed away. Osaihara, where the gods descended, has become popular as a power spot in recent years.

... Read more私が大斎原(熊野本宮大社旧社地)に着いてまず驚いたのは、田園の中に黒い大鳥居が「どーん」と立っている景色でした。高さ約34mというだけあって、少し離れた場所からでも存在感が強く、青空の日はもちろん、天気が変わると表情がガラッと変わりそうだな…と想像しました(熊野は霧が出る日もあるので、「熊野本宮大社 大鳥居 霧」の写真を探している人にも刺さると思います)。 大鳥居の周辺は開けていて写真が撮りやすい一方、参拝の流れとしては「旧社地」らしい静けさを感じられるのが良かったです。鳥居の近くで立ち止まって見上げると、柱の太さや黒の重みが伝わってきて、同じ“和歌山の大きい鳥居”でもここは特別だと実感しました。タイミングによっては「鳥居建立◯周年」の横断幕が出ていることもあり、旅の記念写真に写り込むのも現地ならではです。 「熊野本宮大社 石段」や「熊野本宮大社 参道 森」が気になっていた私が行ってみて良かったのは、森に包まれた参道の空気感。木々の緑が濃く、足音が吸い込まれるような静けさがあって、観光地というより“祈りの道”に近い雰囲気でした。歩きやすい靴だと安心で、雨の後は足元がしっとりするので、滑りにくい靴が本当におすすめです。 旧社地の中心には、流失した社をまつる石造の小祠があり、注連縄やお賽銭箱、狛犬も見られます。大鳥居の迫力に目が行きがちですが、ここは手を合わせると気持ちが落ち着く場所でした。パワースポットとして人気の理由も、派手さではなく“澄んだ感じ”にあるのかも。 写真を撮るなら、(1)少し引いて田園と一緒に大鳥居を入れる構図、(2)鳥居の真下から見上げて高さを強調する構図、(3)森の参道〜石段の雰囲気が伝わる構図、の3つを押さえると「熊野本宮大社 大鳥居 風景」っぽい満足感が出ました。時間があれば、晴れと曇り(できれば霧っぽい日)の違いも見比べてみたいです。

Part 1 of my favorite 24hrs in Japan. I typically dont do city tours, but since we only had 2 full days here, we wanted to see as much as possible. So glad we did it! Pro Tip: we booked this through klook 1 month in advance. Also, everyone in Japan is punctual so stay mindful of the time. #kyot
