The approach stretched straight

Some women were walking the slope which was an approaching way to the shrine. There was a Torii at the end of the slope. It connected the shrine and the beach. The deities from all over the archipelagoes in this country pass this way when October in old calendar has come. They gather to this shrine once a year.

It was the time at the time of visiting. Although I could not see them, many deities walked this way with the worshipers.
