三柱鳥居の形はその名の通り3本の柱がある鳥居です。実はこの三柱鳥居は日本に一つしかありません。つまり木嶋神社にしかないということです。
As the name suggests, the shape of the three-pillar Torii is a Torii with three pillars. In fact, three is only one three-pillar Torii gate in Japan. In other words, it is only found at Konoshima shrine.
この鳥居の中央部は石が積まれています。閉ざされた空間、宇宙の中心を表しているのだそうです。
There is a place where stones are piled up in the center of this Torii, it is said that it represents the center of the universe,a closed space.
