Viewing the crimson vermillion torii gate of Lake Hamana across the sea
About this spot
Just a short walk from Bentenjima Kaihama Park, the crimson vermillion torii gate standing about 10 meters high on the water's surface of Lake Hamana is a beloved photo spot and symbol of Bentenjima. Originally built as the first torii gate of Bentenjima Shrine, its current appearance floating on the lake is striking, and in clear morning air you can also enjoy the sunrise shining through the gate. During low tide, you can approach right next to the gate, allowing children to feel its grand scale up close. A perfect location to mark the beginning of a full day at Lake Hamana and ideal for commemorative photos.
