Those are torii. They’re large, usually bright red gates that are built at the shrine entrance, and sometimes built in long rows extending into the forest. Torii reinforce the Japanese belief that we share this world with invisible forces. They are symbolic entrances into the supernatural world of the kami, and are seen all over Japan.
