About this sight
Located right on Highway No. 29 stands this massive torii gate leading into the village of Yahiko. The gate belongs to Yahiko Jinja Shrine, which can be found further into town, and was originally built to celebrate the opening of the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train line in 1982. This 30-meter tall gate has become the symbol of Yahiko village.
