[Mie] Before you go to Ise Grand Shrine! Futamiokitama Shrine, famous as the god of matchmaking and marital harmony ⛩

Introducing Futamiokitama Shrine in Ise, Mie Prefecture ⛩ This is a shrine with such a long history that it has been a tradition since ancient times to purify oneself at Futamiokitama Shrine as a form of purification before visiting Ise Grand Shrine 😌 𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 🌟Highlights of Futamiokitama Shrine🌟❶Meoto Iwa 🪨Meoto Iwa is a torii gate made of Okitama sacred stone that rests in the sea 700m offshore! It has long been known as a place of worship at sunrise. The large shimenawa that connects the male and female rocks is called the "rope of the barrier"! The other side of the shimenawa is a sacred place where the gods of eternal life approach from across the Pacific Ocean, and the front side is a sacred place that separates the secular world. This large shimenawa was apparently already stretched about 650 years ago. The best time to see the sunrise between the married couple rocks is from May to July, and the spectacular view is particularly famous. ❷Manganji Temple 🐸 There are frog ornaments placed all over the grounds! This is said to be because frogs are messengers of the enshrined deity, Sarutahiko Okami. It is said that your wishes will come true if you pour water on the Mangan Frog at the Chozuya (purification fountain) ☺️ 𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 𓈒𓏸𓂃 🌟Recommended points🌟✅ The main deity is Sarutahiko Okami, the god of road opening, who is said to bring good luck in matchmaking, marital harmony, and traffic safety!

It's a very nice shrine by the sea, and I'm glad I was able to visit🥰❤️The sunrise is especially spectacular, but it was also very pleasant to go for a walk along the sea at dusk! It's surprising that the many frogs placed in the precincts were donated by worshippers 😳 It's a shrine worth seeing, so if you have time, be sure to check it out before visiting Ise Shrine ✨ Spot information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Futami Okitama Shrine 🗺Address: 575 Futami-cho E, Ise City, Mie Prefecture🚗Access: JR Futamiura Station → 15 minutes walk⏰Opening hours: Free entry to the precincts #besttrip2023 #Mie #Ise-Shima #Amazing view #Shrine #Solo trip #Visiting Ise Shrine
