Arahira Tenjin in Kagoshima

📍Arahira Tenjin (Arahira Tenjin / Kagoshima Prefecture)

A breathtaking Tenmangu Shrine built on a small cape jutting into the sea⛩️🌊. Dedicated to the deity of learning, Sugawara no Michizane, it is affectionately known as the "Floating Tenjin Shrine" by locals and students preparing for exams.

🌊 Stunning Location Surrounded by the Sea
The approach to the shrine is a white sandy beach. The contrast of the blue sea, the torii gate, and the main shrine creates a picturesque view, almost like a painting✨. The appearance of the approach changes with the tides, and it is especially popular as a photo spot during sunset📸.

📚 Academic Success & Exam Prayers
As a shrine dedicated to the deity of learning, it attracts many students and exam-takers as a power spot.

About a 1-hour drive from Kagoshima City. Highly recommended as part of a scenic drive route!
