Twice a year, around February 20th and October 20th, the setting sun aligns perfectly with the shrine's approach, creating a golden pathway to the sea. From the stone staircase (otokozaka), visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the straight approach extending to the sea.

The reflections create unique opportunities for creative shots, especially during sunset when the sky takes on vibrant colors.
