The shrine complex of Kasuga-taisha in a leafy environment #108556234
Description
The middle gate and hall, Kasuga-taisha, Nara Park, Nara, Japan. Kasuga-taisha locates in the region of Kasugayama Primeval Forest, which is a primeval forest of about 250 hectares near the summit of Kasugayama, and contains 175 kinds of trees, 60 bird types, and 1,180 species of insects. Because Kasugayama has long been tied to Kasuga Grand Shrine worship, it is regarded as a sacred hill. The forest backdrop of the Kasuga Grand Shrine`s buildings today has been uncharged since the Nara period.
