神社にはたくさん鳥居がありますね。建物の前だけでなく神聖な木や岩などの前にも様々な形の鳥居がありますので、近くの神社でもあらためて探してみてください。
Many tori gates stand on the premises of the jinja. They are erected not only in front of shinden (Hall of Worship), but also by the side of a tall tree as you see a small one in this picture. Torii is often situated in front of a sacred tree, rock, waterfall or some other natural objects.
