The first proper dragon shrine that I find in all of Japan. Actually, a lot of shrines and temples feature dragons as design elements, but those really just feel like a supporting feature. This shrine, by contrast, has a huge and detailed dragon carving right in the very center, which makes it stand apart from other shrines, so that's why I wanted to point this one out.
