A set of photos from today’s visit to Katori Jingū in Chiba Prefecture, around 70km east of central Tokyo. It’s quite an effort to get there by public transport, but the magnificent shrine and the calm natural setting are worth it ❤️

Unprocessed iPhone shots.

Wrapping up the photos from last weekend's visit to Katori Jingū Shrine in Chiba Prefecture with this set of shots from the Deep Shrine (奥宮, Okunomiya), a smaller sanctuary built with ancient timber at a quiet spot in the forest. A peaceful place to pay respects and pray for fortune in upcoming challenging endeavors.

Unedited iPhone shots straight out of camera.

Some unedited, out-of-camera photos from today’s day trip to Katori Jingū, a popular Shinto shrine outside of Sawara, northeast of Narita (Chiba Prefecture). The shrine has a stone lantern lined approach that begins after some shops and restaurants found around the shrine's parking lot. Katori Jingū's oldest standing structures are its black painted main building and vermilion gate, which date from the year 1700.
