The story of Ueda City Japan Heritage says that sunlight rises in the center of the eastern torii gate of Ikushimatarushima shrine on summer solstice.
But it's not clear enough. From where is it seen? From just front or an angle? What path does the sun appear to take?
(Would you really want to see the sun passing through the center of the torii gate from an angle?)
If the sun appears 7 degrees south of the direction of the approach and the width of the approach is 4m, the scenes where the sun is at the center of the torii gate, can be seen up to 16 meters?
(Maximum of 40 people in 10m x 2 rows. Actually it's crowded even with 20 people?)
The approach to Ikushima-Tarushima Shrine was built during the Edo period.
A willow tree was placed in front of the gate. So, sunlight didn't enter from the front.
For a long time, people had never seen the sights described in the Japan Heritage story?

Should you see the sun and torii-gate from the front or from an angle?
