At the great torii gate of Koizumi Inari Shrine, a photo capturing the feeling of "cosmos flowers and the torii gate glowing in the sunset."

This photo captures cosmos flowers and a torii gate at sunset. I aimed to catch the moment the cosmos glowed. The grand torii gate of Koizumi Inari Shrine paired with cosmos flowers makes for an ideal photo spot that signals autumn's arrival. The vividly blooming cosmos accentuate the torii's solemn presence, allowing you to capture the season's beauty in a photograph.Especially in the early morning or evening, soft light envelops the flowers and torii, creating a fantastical atmosphere. When photographing, aim for a shot with depth by framing the torii while incorporating the cosmos blooming in the foreground. Also, when visiting, choose a sunny day and aim for a time with calm winds to capture the flowers at their most beautiful.
