The tallest stone torii in japan


h5435

This is the biggest (tallest) torii made of stone in Japan. It is located in front of Warei Shrine in Uwajima, Ehime, on Shikoku. It is 12.5 meters tall. Many sources claim the stone torii at Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto as the tallest, but it is a mere 9.5 meters tall.

    Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I visited Japan for 3 months last year, and is good to my heart to remember such beautiful places. Regards from Brazil
