Taikobashi("The Drum Bridge")
Photograph at: Taga town, Shiga Pref., Japan At "Taga-Taisha(Taga grandshrine)". This unique-shaped bridge is in front of the gate of "Taga-Taisha".Taga-Taisha is one of the most famous shrine in Japan. Although the shrine is smaller than the other grandshrines like Yasukuni-jinja, Izumo-taisha and Ise-jingu, but many people say "If you're going to visit Ise-jingu, you should visit Taga-Taisha. Ise-Jingu is Taga-Taisha's child", because "Oo-kuninushi-no-mikoto",the master god of Ise-Jingu who is the chief guardian deity of Japan is a son of "Izanagi-no-mikoto" and "Izanami-no-mikoto",who are the master gods of Taga-Taisha.
