What visitors say
A distinctive feature is the torii gate standing in the sea, creating a mystical landscape that changes appearance with the tides. Visitors reach the shrine by passing through a residential area and navigating slightly uneven paths and slopes. It is a scenic spot where one can enjoy the view of the sea in a tranquil atmosphere.
