A Torii, the traditional japanese gate that you can see in almost all temples there. They usually have vermilion color, but I liked this one a lot because it seems so natural. This one is on Tosyogu Shrine.

Pues sí, pega mucho más en piedra con los árboles detrás. Parece más antiguo y más "venerable", incluso más misterioso.
Y esos árboles parecen realmente enormes.

Can you tell what does this gate means, please? I have asked a lot of people and I have searched it, but I still don't know the answer.

Well, literary the word "Torii" means "where the birds reside", but the gate itself marks the division between sacred and profane places, they're like invisible barriers. That's why you can find them in temples, cemeteries, forest... Hope that was helpful for you :)
