[Saga] Do you know this place? A fantastic underwater torii gate floating in the sea ⛩🌊

Do you know this place?

I'm r e i n a, and I search for photogenic places while traveling 📷✨

This time, I'll introduce the underwater torii gates of Oouojinja Shrine in Tara Town, Saga Prefecture!

The three torii gates floating in the sea of Tara Town, also known as the "town where you can see the gravity of the moon," are a truly mystical and spectacular sight...✨

At high tide, the torii gates sink into the sea, creating a fantastic view as if they are floating on the water🌊

On the other hand, at low tide, you can walk under the torii gates! ⛩👣

The underwater torii gates of Oouojinja Shrine are said to have been built about 300 years ago, and there is a custom of rebuilding them every 30 years.

📸 Recommended photo timing

🔹 At low tide → Get the rare view of walking under the torii gates! 🔹 At high tide → The torii gates float on the sea, creating a fantastical sight!

🔹 At dusk and sunrise → The gradation of the sky and the silhouette of the torii gates are just too beautiful✨

Please come and visit! 🌊⛩✨
