[Saga] Torii gates that look like an animation



The shrine's torii gate is located on Ariake Beach in Tara Town, Saga Prefecture. At low tide, you can walk to the bottom of the torii gate, and at high tide, it seems to float on the sea, like a dreamy "ocean shrine approach".

The best time to visit is early morning or dusk, with sunrise, sunset and tidal light and shadow, the atmosphere for taking photos is overwhelming! Recommended nearby places: Takezaki Crab Cuisine (only available in winter) to experience a day of sea view and gourmet healing.


**Tidal Limited Wonders**:
- The Torii gate is only accessible at low tide (tide times vary daily, so be sure to check the Tara Town tide table first).

- At high tide, the sea water reaches the base of the Torii.

- **Takezaki crab**: Tara Town is famous for its Takezaki crab. In winter (November to March), you must try the freshly caught live crab dishes.

Plan a one-day trip to downtown Saga (such as Yoshinogari Historical Park) to experience the charm of Kyushu's secrets! 🦀🌅


Transportation: Take the JR Nagasaki Main Line and get off at Tara Station. Then walk for about 10 minutes.
