The shrine with the “Light Path” has become well-known for Arashi's commercials, but the structure of Kasuga Shrine in Okura-cho is the same. The clockwise angle from magnetic north is as follows (using Swedish Silva Compass). Company Hall [North] 95 ° * (103 °) Worship corridor (north side) 110 ° 〃 [Same] [South] 110 ° 〃 随 Passenger statue pedestal [north] 110 ° 〃 [Same] [South] 110 ° Koma dog pedestal [north] 110 ° Koma Dog Base [South] 110 ° (* 95 ° → due to distortion of floorboard?) The main hall, worship hall, Koma-inu, and the shrine and shrine in Okura-cho are facing the same east direction (azimuth angle of about 100 °). Kasuga Shrine was built in September 1707.

Perhaps this day was the Equinox Day (old calendar). Sunlight first on the spot where the sun rises on this day (October 23, 1707, 6:08 in the morning), on the far extension of the center line of Okuracho Kasuga Shrine, towards the driving range) I think it was built so that you can see the blink. * Okuramachi Kasuga Shrine (Rebuilt in Tempo 21 [1853] and Meiji 24 [1891], but I don't know until months, but in every year the sunrise azimuth is around 100 degrees It is certain that it will be around the day of autumn, October 22-25. It is also speculative, but I don't think it would be difficult to change the direction of the main hall or main hall at the time of reconstruction. As of 2019, the direction of the shrine's building reflects the direction of its founding (Hoei 4 [1707]). The centerline in the east direction of the approach to Okuracho Kasuga Shrine may be a light trail before and after the autumn day of 2019. However, since the sunrise is from the water [horizon] horizon, there is nothing to block. But if you can see it, I want to see it! If you walk in the middle of the approach, you may think that it is a “light path” because it is a “light path”. In addition, the festival god is a celestial roof that sang congratulations in front of Iwado when Amaterasu god hides in the heavenly Iwado, and opens the mirror when Iwado opens a little, so it has something to do with light.
