Nakanodake Shrine is located at the south foot of Mt. Kondo (also called Nakanodake). The deities worshipped are Nihon Buson in the Hongu and Okuninushinomikoto in the Zengu. The remains of a destroyed torii can be seen in the centre, but the present shrine was restored in 1882, so the photo was taken before that time.==Date:unknown, Place:Gunma, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐25‐0]

Probably one of the four stone gates in the form of torii in Kondosan (also called Nakanodake), the peak of Myogisan famous for rocks with peculiar shapes. It was formed by the remains of tuff components weathered and washed by rain, leaving only the hard rock cores. The arch with the rough surface of the rock and withered trees and plants is photographed from an angle of elevation.==Date:unknown, Place:Gunma, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number9‐24‐0]
