Description
View of walkway leading to the Kasugataisha shrine in Nara, Japan, with stone lanterns on either side. "The Shrine lies in a primeval forest of cedars and a kind of Chinese black pines. The brilliant vermillon edifices are beautifully contrasted with their surrounding greenery. Going through the first and second Torii gates, you can see a lot of stone lanterns standing on both sides of the approach to the shrine,"--World Heritage website.
