This photo was taken at Hakusan Shrine, the principal shrine of Niigata, showing the wind chimes hanging beneath the gate as seen from a distance. By stepping back slightly to take the shot, this image captures both the overall atmosphere of the gate and the wind chime decorations—a shot that truly captures the essence of Hakusan Shrine.
