Just be aware that reaching the summit won't unlock any hidden treasures or benefits; it's purely for those who wish to defy convention.
Why Shouldn’t You Climb the Torii Gates?
In Japanese culture and Shinto beliefs, torii gates symbolize the transition from the mundane to the sacred, serving as portals for spirits.
