context_page_description: Ōasahiko Shrine is a Shinto shrine located at the base of Mt. Ōasa in Naruto, Tokushima, Japan. The kami enshrined there are Ōasahiko-no-Okami and Sarutahiko-no-Okami.
context_section_description: In addition to the traditional Shinto shrine structures—-such as the honden and haiden—located on the shrine premises, there are also a variety of other distinguishing featured located around the shrine.
  Marking the start of an 800-meter-long (2,625 ft) road leading directly to the shrine's haiden is a large, orange torii. By using reinforced concrete and steel, this torii was first constructed in 1958 and had a height of 15.6 metres (51 ft) and a width of 11 metres (36 ft). Because of its deteriorated state, it was reconstructed in 2002 using metal tubing. The access road which follows is lined with dozens of stone tōrō donated by shrine parishioners in 2004-05.
  In the center of the shrine grounds is a 1000-year-old camphor tree known as Go-shinboku (ご神木). This revered tree's main trunk has a circumference of 8.3 metres (27 ft) and a maximum height of 22 metres (72 ft).
  Behind the main portion of the shrine grounds to the northeast is the German Bridge (ドイツ橋, Doitsu bashi). From April 1917 to December 1919, about 953 German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers were imprisoned at the nearby Bandō Prisoner of War camp during World War I. This stone bridge was built by these POWs who were held captive at the camp.
