[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.
