The torii is a gate which marks the entrance to a sacred area, usually but not necessarily a shrine.

They can be found in different places within a shrine's precincts to signify an increased level of holiness.

The gate, which survived the destruction of World War II, is made out of wood and has a gable roof. The garden has a large pond in the middle. Surrounding it are waterfalls, promenades, various tea houses, and bridges. Seasonal blooms of the flowers include Japanese Apricot (ume), peony (botan), iris (hanashobu), and maple (momiji).
