I went to Sakurai Shrine on the Itoshima Peninsula. It is said to be a sacred place for fans of Arashi and Mr. Children, and I saw many votive plaques that seemed to have been written by fans. The flower water fountain was very beautiful, and it was a magnificent shrine! If you are traveling to the Itoshima Peninsula, I definitely recommend visiting it. #PR #FukuokaTourism #Itoshima #Shrine #SakuraiDaijingu #SakuraiShrine
