Sanpo Shrine Approach and Stone Steps
In *Dark Gathering*, Yayoi, Kentarou, and Eiko visit an ancient shrine deep in the mountains to purify a powerful evil spirit. The scene shows them climbing a long stone staircase flanked by dense cedar trees, with a vermilion torii gate at the entrance of the approach. The sound of water trickling from the purification fountain (chōzubachi) can be heard, and the shrine hall is adorned with sacred ropes (shimenawa), creating a solemn atmosphere. Yayoi sets up a barrier there to perform a sealing ritual.
