Mysterious and ancient "Hioka Shrine"

#寺 The Hioka Shrine⛩️ is located in a dense forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. As we slowly ascend the stone steps, the red leaves on both sides are in full bloom, forming a beautiful contrast with the dark green trees. The Torii is solemn and simple, and the vermilion lacquer has been slightly mottled by the years, adding a sense of history. The main hall is beautifully built, with a roof that has graceful and flowing curves, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional Japanese architecture. I particularly like a small stone bridge in the shrine, which spans a gurgling stream and is surrounded by moss, as if I were in a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki animation.
