9th Grade Junior High School English Project

We were passing by at the wrong time, and got a 'free' tour of the Tori, the Shrine and we got quizzed on the vitalstatistics. The last time the Tori was rebuilt was in 1875 by the way, and the Shrine has 260m of corridor. Just in case you wanted to know. Interestingly enough, just accross the road from the school is another mini floating Tori, the one in this photograph, which sufficed for their rehearsal.

This would imply that they have been doing this for the past 1000 odd years, or at least as long as there has been Gaijin English teachers coming to Japan. SO at least 1000 years. So they had this mini tori built for the purpose. Pratical and indusrious lot these guys.
