Bentenjima Red Torii 弁天島の赤鳥居（観光シンボルタワー）・弁天島海浜公園
Planted in the water of Lake Hamana: its official name is ‘tourism symbol tower’.
The red torii stands in the water south of Bentenjima and is officially called the ‘tourism symbol tower’ (観光シンボルタワー): it is the spot for watching the sunsets over Lake Hamana. It is in front of Bentenjima Marine Park, a strip 500 m long with a promenade among the palm trees, lawns and beach; in summer you can swim there. Clam digging, which used to be the spring outing here, has been banned since March 2026 across the whole of Lake Hamana for anyone who is not a fisherman: the fishing cooperative stopped it because the 2025 catch was zero.

Gabriel DropOut
The fourth episode takes place almost entirely here: the four of them spend the day on the marine park's beach and Satania tries to stand up on a dolphin-shaped inflatable ring, with the red torii behind her. In the background you can recognise the expressway's Hamana Bridge and the Hamanako Resort & Spa The Ocean hotel, and even the toilet block behind Gabriel is reproduced. The beach as drawn is wider than the real one, which is half concrete on the landward side. The torii already appears in the first episode, in the view of the lake from above, and the beach episode ends on the sun setting behind it.
