I visited when I took a drone shot of Keya no Ohto. The moment I entered, I felt a Ghibli-like feeling in the tunnel of trees. The photos taken from the entrance have a nice Totoro atmosphere, but I also recommend going inside the tunnel and taking a photo facing the entrance. I was really healed because I could hear the swaying sounds of trees, the voices of birds, and the sounds of waves. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I visited when I took a drone shot of Keya no Ohto.

It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2017, and is a shrine with a long history. It has a long history and is one of the oldest shrines in Japan that appears in Japanese mythology, giving it a dignified atmosphere. The three goddesses of Amaterasu Omikami are enshrined at Okitsumiya, Nakatsumiya, and Hetsumiya, and to be precise, these three shrines are collectively called Munakata Taisha. The second and third shrines are also nearby, so you can visit them. The Takamiya Shrine, where it is said that the gods descended, was a sacred place with a very solemn atmosphere.

You can hang one half at the shrine and take the other half home as a talisman. Takamiya Shrine is about a five-minute walk from Hetsumiya, but it is also famous as a power spot, so please be sure to check it out. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It was registered as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2017 and is a venerable shrine.

Munakata Taisha, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, is a central shrine within the World Heritage Site "Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region." This area embodies Japan's ancient spiritual beliefs and is dedicated to the three Munakata goddesses, who are revered as protectors of maritime safety. The shrine complex consists of three main shrines: Hetsu-miya, Nakatsu-miya, and Okitsu-miya, each holding its own historical and mystical significance. Particularly notable is Okinoshima, often referred to as the "Sea's Shosoin," where access is strictly limited to preserve its sanctity. Visitors can experience the harmony of nature and history while feeling the profound weight of faith that has endured since ancient times. Munakata Taisha offers a serene and enriching opportunity to connect with Japan's mystique and cultural heritage.

Marishi Shrine 1-6-16 Togo, Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture 0940-36-5064 This is a shrine I stopped by on a trip to Fukuoka. According to an ancient legend, it was founded in the fifth year of the Shucho era, when Akie, the Munakata lord at the time, worshipped Ame-no-Minakanushi-no-Okami, the god of heaven and earth creation, and Katsuragi Ichinotoshi-no-Okami, who had been worshipped since the Middle Ages, in Tonogo, the center of the county, and it was said that it began to be called Marishi Shrine, as it was considered to be the god of victory and bravery (Marishiten). Marishi-no-Okami is the god of victory who competes and overcomes disasters. Marishi means heat haze majesty. As a god of heaven, he has the power of supernatural powers, and nothing can defeat him. If you believe in this god, you will have the same power as this god. He is said to be the god of victory in competitions, elections, exam success, and eradication of disease. #Spring0yenTrip #FukuokaTrip #FukuokaShrine #FukuokaTourism #Munakata #MarishiShrine

#福冈景点 In the hustle and bustle of the city, cafes always give people a quiet place. The "muna" I want to share today is located at 1-4-16 Nishikaigan, Moji-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. We often wonder, why do we go to a cafe? Is it to taste that cup of fragrant coffee☕ or to take photos and check in to leave beautiful memories? Or is it to seek a little relaxation in a busy life, or to wait for someone, work, or talk about things? There are a wide variety of cafes in the city, each with its own characteristics. And "muna" may have a unique charm that attracts people to step into it. Maybe it’s the store’s decoration style, maybe it’s the barista’s friendly smile, or maybe it’s the cups of carefully crafted coffee. No matter what reason you come to the cafe, I hope you can find your own comfort and satisfaction in "muna". If you are also in Fukuoka, why not go to this small but beautiful cafe and feel its unique atmosphere!

During the Tanabata Festival, children hang strips of paper with their wishes on bamboo branches. My son asked, 'Will the Cowherd and Weaver Girl peek at them?' As we strolled along the path late at night, you shone a flashlight towards the treetops and said, 'Look, the spirits are winking through the leaves.' Lying on the grass in the sacred forest, my daughter fell asleep after counting the 83rd shooting star, still clutching a ginkgo leaf she picked up as a 'divine fortune.' In the morning light, when the shrine maiden handed us a charm for good relationships, my child said, 'Our whole family is already bound together!'

The Windmill Observatory was originally a battery completed in 1936 along the northern coast of Kyushu to strengthen defense. At that time, four cannons were installed on Oshima, but they were removed without ever being used in battle. The foundation prepared for the battery still remains here and can be seen today. Surrounding the battery ruins is the Windmill Observatory, the highest point on Oshima. The red windmill on a small hill is very striking, and from there you can overlook the Genkai Sea. In spring, there are rapeseed flowers, in summer, sunflowers, and in autumn, the area is filled with cosmos flowers. Address: Oshima, Munakata City

Oshima is located in Munakata City, Fukuoka! The one-way boat ride costs about 590 yen and takes about 20 minutes. You can rent an electric bicycle on Oshima for 1000 yen and go around the island. It's a bit expensive for a rental bicycle, but when you cycle around the island, you have to climb quite a few mountain paths, so it makes a big difference whether you have an electric bicycle or not. Depending on the season, Oshima has sunflower fields and cosmos fields, and there are many photogenic spots that you can enjoy. You can also ride a horse, but you have to make a reservation, and explore Oshima on horseback! #0yentravelautumn #Fukuoka #Oshima #Munakata #Fukuokatourism #Fukuokatrip
