[A journey along the path of the gods] Experience ancient Japanese beliefs at Munakata Taisha Shrine

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip

"Munakata Taisha" in Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture is one of Japan's oldest shrines, consisting of three shrines: Okinoshima, Hetsumiya, and Nakatsumiya. Okinoshima in particular is registered as a World Heritage Site as an "island of gods" and is known as a place of mystical faith🌊. "Hetsumiya" on the mainland is a power spot where you can worship in a solemn atmosphere, and it is also said to bring good fortune in road and maritime safety🙏
When you actually visit, you will be overwhelmed by the spacious grounds and the majestic shrine building, and you will naturally feel like you are standing up straight. The treasure museum also displays valuable artifacts excavated from Okinoshima, making it a must-see spot for history buffs 📜
