photogenic
A run of 123 vermilion torii gates descending a grassy headland to cliffs above the Sea of Japan. Its offertory box is fixed atop the entrance torii, six metres up, so coins must be thrown into it.

tunnel
A tunnel hand-cut through a cliff on the Yamakuni River, begun by the monk Zenkai in 1735 and reputedly dug over three decades to spare travellers a lethal chain path. Sections of the original chiselled bore survive alongside the road.
