The Steps of the Hanging Temple
In *Umamusume: Pretty Derby Season 3*, Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond, along with others, visit an ancient temple built halfway up a mountain to pray for success in their races. The temple features a unique *kake-zukuri* (hanging) architecture, clinging to the hillside. They climb a long stone staircase from the gate to the main hall, laughing and running against a backdrop of dense woods and distant mountains.
