(about 15 minutes from JR Tendo Station by car) # It is located beside the road to Tendo C.C. Parking area Nothing [ What is "Torii"... ? ]
Japanese Torii means a entrance gate to a sacred place. You see Mt.Suishou between poles directly. So they think that Torii was built for the faith to Mt.Suishou. There are no "Kasagi" and "Shimagi" abecause it has passed very long time. You cannot see this historical site directly because it is located on the top of the hill. But it is easy to find out because they built a signboard.

But the Torii have a mean of the entrance to hory area. So they think that it stood front to the "Yamadera" hory temple of buddist. "Kasagi" and "Shimagi" is made of only 1 stone. "Nuki" and "Tsuka" is lost now, but it has a image of them. This Torii is counted as "3 Toriis in Mogami area" with one of Narisawa, Yamagata city and one of Motoki, Yamagata city.
