Motonosumi Shrine
The breathtaking spot "Motonosumi Shrine" in Yamaguchi Prefecture was established in 1955 by a local fisherman, Osamu Okamura, who received a message from a white fox. The view of the 123 red torii gates, donated over a decade starting in 1987, stretching toward the Japan Sea is magnificent. The contrast of the red torii, blue sea, and green vegetation has captivated both domestic and international visitors. It is said that if you toss a coin into the offering box atop the approximately 6-meter tall large torii gate, your wishes will come true, leading many to take on the challenge. This power spot offers various blessings such as business prosperity and good fortune.
