The amazing view from the shrine

#getgoing2025 Kuratake Shrine is located on the top of Kuratake, the highest peak of the Amakusa Islands, which has been worshipped as a sacred mountain in the Amakusa region since ancient times, and was built to pray for the safety of fishermen and navigation. The view from the top of the mountain is outstanding, and you can enjoy a large panorama of the Yashiro Sea, the Ariake Sea, and the islands of Goshoura below. If it's sunny, you can take beautiful photos like a torii in the sky. Please enjoy the special view that can only be seen here. There is also a parking lot near the top of the mountain, so you can go by car, but be careful when driving because it goes down a narrow road.
