Wikipedia definition
2. Sandō​A sandō in Japanese architecture is the road approaching either a Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple. Its point of origin is usually straddled in the first case by a Shinto torii, in the second by a Buddhist sanmon, gates which mark the beginning of the shrine's or temple territory. There can also be stone lanterns and other decorations at any point along its course. A sandō can be called an omote-sandō, if it is the main entrance, or an ura-sandō if it is a secondary point of entrance.
