[2025 Tsushima Attraction] Travel Guide for Izuhara Hachimangu Shrine (Updated Jun)

#Travel itinerary This time, I'm introducing you to Tsushima Island, a recommended 2-day, 1-night course! It's a famous place for short trips to Japan. I think a lot of people go there because the weather is nice! I went to the main towns in Hitakatsu - out Izuhara. You can get there by boat through Busan Port🚢 I took the Panstar Tsushima Link. Hitakatsu has a beach and hot springs, so it would be nice to just stay at Hitakatsu. I went down to Izuhara using a one-day pass ☑️ 1-person pass: 1,040 yen / Time required: 2 hours and 30 minutes After arriving at Tsushima Island, I had a quick lunch at Tiara Mall and went shopping. You can buy whiskey and sake at a low price. I had draft beer for dinner and a delicious assorted sashimi. 🏠The place I stayed was I think it would be good to add breakfast! There aren't many places to eat breakfast, and the breakfast here is really delicious. Izuhara Port also has the history of the Joseon Tongsinsa. It is also a symbolic place of diplomatic and cultural exchange between Japan and Korea! 🍣For lunch, I had a sushi lunch set at Senryo! I recommend it because the price is reasonable and it even comes with dessert. ⛩️Izuhara Hachimangu Shrine: Parking is available. It's also close to downtown Izuhara! (Some shrines are difficult for Koreans to enterㅠㅠ) It was a short but fulfilling 2 days and 1 night tour of Tsushima Island! I recommend it because it's good for duty-free and a short way to enjoy Japan🧡

Itsukuhara Hachiman Shrine ⛩️ 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine located in the center of Izuhara and easily accessible. Originally named Hachiman Shrine, it has the place name "Itsukuhara" to distinguish it from other shrines. On her way back from the conquest of the Three Kingdoms, Empress Jingu visited Shimizuyama in Tsushima and is said to have worshipped the gods of heaven and earth by placing a sacred mirror and offerings on the mountain's summit, as this mountain is said to be a mountain in which divine spirits reside. In 655, Emperor Tenmu ordered the construction of a shrine at the foot of Shimizuyama. It is said that the shrine was originally dedicated to the god Hachiman. One of the highlights is the shrine surrounded by stone walls unique to this area. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Itsukuhara Hachiman Shrine ꕥAddress: 645-1 Nakamura, Izuhara-cho, Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture ꕥAccess: Izuhara Port New Domestic Terminal Building → approx. 19 minutes on foot ꕥVisiting hours: Free entry to the grounds ꕥSeal: Available ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Tsushima #Tsushima sightseeing #Shrine #Shrine visit #Shrines and temples #Shrine tour

#2024WishEvent The shrine located on Mt. Shimizu was a place for fishermen. When you pass the two torii gates and climb the stairs on both sides, you will see a shrine surrounded by quiet trees. If you climb the stairs on the left, you will see buildings that worship various gods, and among them, the shrine that worships Empress Jingu is famous. There are three stairs in total in this shrine, and the leftmost stairs are said to worship the god that the emperor walks, the center stairs are said to worship the god that the emperor walks, and the rightmost stairs are said to worship the god that the common people walks. This shrine is also a place that Koreans dislike because it is related to the Imjin War. Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan in 1590, each region was ruled by a samurai chief who held power. Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to build a castle on Tsushima Island, but he could not do it due to the opposition of the chief. Tsushima Island was especially close to the Korean Peninsula, so the chief chief who held an official position in the Joseon Dynasty ruled Tsushima Island. Toyotomi Hideyoshi chose the Tsushima Island governor as the governor by forcing a political marriage with the daughter of the governor, Konika Maria. After that, Tsushima Island governor So Yoshitoshi was placed at the forefront, and after the Imjin War ended and Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, the era of Tokugawa Ieyasu began. During this process, Konishi Yukinaga, who had been fighting Tokugawa Ieyasu, was defeated and killed. At this time, Tsushima Island governor So Yoshitoshi divorced Konika Maria, the daughter of Konishi Yukinaga, and sent her to Nagasaki for the safety of the Tsushima Island residents. After that, when rumors spread that the ghost of Konika Maria, the daughter of Konishi Yukinaga, was haunting Tsushima Island, a shrine was built for Konika Maria, the deceased wife of So Yoshitoshi, and her son, So Yoshinari, and a memorial service was held. To the left of the Hachiban-gu Shrine located in Izuhara City, Tsushima Island, is the shrine of Konika Maria, known as the Golden Palace Shrine. The shrine is not large or grandiose, but is built serenely, with stone steps and vines, moss and fallen leaves adding to the atmosphere.
