[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 📜 🚃 Access ・Take the Nishitetsu bus from JR "Togo Station" and get off at "Munakata Taisha-mae" ・There is free parking if you come by car 🚗 🎯 Tips ・There is a lot to see at the treasure museum, so it is recommended to visit with plenty of time ・The air is clear in the morning, and you can feel the sacred atmosphere even more 🌄 ・If you want to learn about the faith of the three Munakata goddesses, you can deepen your understanding by visiting Hetsumiya → Nakatsumiya → Okinoshima in that order ✨ Domestic travel #couple trip #solo trip #absolutely free trip #Munakata Taisha #World Heritage Site #Fukuoka sightseeing #island where the gods live #power spot #historical trip
