[Tsushima] Experience the breath of myth and prayers for the sea at Umikami Shrine🌊

Located in Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Wadatsumi Shrine is a historic shrine dedicated to the Watatsumi Mikami, the gods of the sea, who are mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. It's a sacred place on the Sea Road, alongside Iki and Munakata, and a must-see for mythology lovers. ✨ The approach to the shrine, nestled in the forest, is like another world. The sounds of birdsong and waves blend together, creating a mysterious, calming sensation. 🌿 Stories of navigators and fishermen once praying here for safety remain, and the islanders continue to treasure it. Itinerary Day 1: Visit to Wadatsumi Shrine and a drive along the coast Deep within the shrine grounds, you'll find a rock where a god is said to have descended, as well as a sacred spring. After worshiping, we recommend touring spots related to the mythology, such as the Eboshi-dake Observatory and Watatsumi Shrine. 🚗 🏨 Accommodation Enjoy a relaxing stay overlooking the ocean at Hotel Tsushima or Tsushima Grand Hotel. 🏨 🍴 Nearby Gourmet Spots Enjoy coffee overlooking the ocean at Yamaneko Cafe. ☕️ Enjoy fresh Tsushima conger eel and turban shell dishes at Ajidokoro Ueno. 🐚 📌 Useful Information Address: 247 Kizaka, Minemachi, Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, 817-1303 Access: Approximately 30 minutes by car from Tsushima Airport / Approximately 50 minutes from Izuhara Port Parking: Available (Free) Visiting Hours: Anytime Admission Fee: Free Spend time feeling the energy of the sea and prayer on Tsushima, where the gods live.
