The gate and the "Akatsukayama" sign at the entrance to the Tokyo Great Buddha and Akatsukayama

This photo was taken at the Tokyo Daibutsu, capturing the entrance gate located outside the temple grounds and a sign that reads “Mt. Akatsuka.” I took this photo with a focus on the gate’s appearance and the characters for “Mt. Akatsuka” to convey the atmosphere of the entrance as experienced when visiting the Tokyo Daibutsu.
