[Encounter the "magnificent view of prayer" at Akoshi Shrine, a mysterious torii gate leading to the sea]

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Akoshi Shrine, located in Homo-cho, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture, is a mysterious shrine with an impressive torii gate that seems to float on the sea. It has a history of being visited by boat, and the torii gate that continues to the sea, which still gives a sense of this, is a truly spectacular sight✨ On the day I visited, the torii gate quietly stood between the blue sea and sky, and the fantastic space where only the sound of the waves echoed was cleansing to the soul. The journey to the shrine, which is a walk along the promenade, is also like a "journey of prayer." Being able to encounter this sacred scenery for free is truly a "reward for the soul" 🌿 🚃 [Access] ・Address: 609 Homomachi, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture ・Car: About 15-20 minutes walk from "Tategasaki Promenade Parking Lot" on National Route 311 🚶♂️ ・Public transport: About 10 minutes by taxi from JR "Nigishima Station" ・Parking: Free parking available at the entrance to the Tategasaki Promenade 🅿️ *The promenade is about 1km one way.
