Motonosumi Shrine: A breathtaking shrine with 123 red torii gates leading to the sea

Located in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, "Motonosumi Shrine" is a stunning spot featuring 123 red torii gates that line the path towards the sea✨. Perched on a cliff, the shrine offers a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in an extraordinary world surrounded by the sounds of wind and waves🌊. Walking through the tunnel of torii gates towards the sea feels like stepping into another realm. On sunny days, the contrast between the blue sea and the red torii gates is especially photogenic📸. The shrine is also home to the "most challenging offertory box in Japan," providing a unique and memorable experience for travelers! 🚃 Access: About 20 minutes by taxi from JR Nagato-Furuichi Station. 🚗 By car: Approximately 1 hour from the Chugoku Expressway "Mine IC" (parking available). Whether you're walking with a partner to make a wish or traveling solo to connect with nature, this spot is perfect. I can't wait to visit again at sunset to witness the torii gates and sea bathed in the golden hues of twilight🌇.
