Second Torii Gate to the Hinamizawa Shrine
In *Higurashi: When They Cry*, the second torii gate stands on the stone steps leading to the Hinamizawa shrine. In episode 11, the main characters pass under it repeatedly after school, with the setting sun filtering through the trees and cicadas buzzing—a key landmark marking the boundary between everyday life and the uncanny.
