In typical Shinto style the outermost gate, Ichi-no-torii, leads to the second gate, Ni-no-torii, through a 200 meter long path called a sandō.
Temizushaedit
After crossing the sandō, a traditional Shinto style road, pilgrims to the shrine encounter the Temizusha, a small, roofed structure containing a pool of water for use in ritual purification. The god of this pool is Dragon. Prayers purify their hands and purify their mouths there as a symbolic act to purify the mind and body. The second of two torii gates stands just behind the Temizusha.
Haidenedit
This spiritual hall for visitors, located just after the second large torii gate, is open to the public for the offering of prayers to the god (Kami), the giving of donations, and the purchase of special talismans of protection, such as amulets (omamori) and hanging scrolls (ofuda).
On special days, one may be invited to a kagura. The miko (shrine maiden) guides into the haiden. Lay down your head totally and Kan-Nushi (Shinto priest) purifies us. After that, Oriental Miko dance in sync with the music playing bell(Suzu), flute (Ryu-teki), taiko, and Gagaku. Urayasu-no-Mai (means 'dance at the seashore') is famous in Nagao shrine. You pass from item by Hatsuho Ryou prayer from Kan-Nushi, the prayer is finished.
