Kotohira-gū, Shinto shrine in Kotohira, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan
The shrine complex extends up Mount Zozu through 785 stone steps to reach the main hall and 1,368 steps to the inner shrine.
The religious site dates back to the first century and transformed from a Buddhist-Shinto complex to an exclusive Shinto shrine during the Meiji period.
The Omoteshoin Drawing Room from 1660 contains paper sliding doors with paintings by Maruyama Okyo and holds Important Cultural Property status.
The shrine grounds remain open throughout the day while the Omoteshoin, Treasure Hall, and Art Museum operate from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
Sailors and merchants once sent their prayers through floating barrels of sake called nagashi-daru, which local fishermen would collect from the sea.
