A spectacular spot in Itoshima! The coast where the Meoto Iwa rocks stand out ⛩️🌊

Sakurai Futamigaura in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a photogenic spot with beautiful sunsets and the Meoto Iwa rocks floating in the sea📸✨

Especially during the summer solstice, the sunset between the rocks creates a mysterious and spectacular view😍
The two rocks tied together with a large shimenawa are also said to be symbols of marital harmony and matchmaking, and are popular as a power spot🌿💖

Highlights & recommended times🌅

The Meoto Iwa rocks look most beautiful at dusk.
The sunsets from May to July are especially spectacular, with the sun setting into the sea and the silhouette of the rocks creating a fantastic sight✨
During the day, the contrast between the blue sea and the white torii gates is refreshing, and on sunny days you can take the best photos📷💕

There are stylish cafes and restaurants dotted around the area🍰
