Explore the ancient Japanese shrine at the beautiful Shimonoseki Shrine.

🌟 【Introduction to Akama Shrine】 Akama Shrine is located in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It was built in 1191 to commemorate Emperor Antoku who died in the Battle of Dan-no-ura. This shrine is famous for its red and white gate "Suitemon", and has become one of the famous photography spots in Shimonoseki📷 📍【Special Experience】 Cultural experience: Every year on the anniversary of Emperor Antoku's death (May 2nd to May 4th), the shrine holds the "Former Emperor Festival" where you can see various performances. 📸【Photo check-in point】 1️⃣ Suitenmon: The landmark building of Akama Jingu Shrine, the red and white gate "Suitemon" simulates the construction of the legendary "Ryugu Castle", which is great for taking pictures (in the evening, when the park is about to close at 17:00, there are few people, making it easier to take pictures) 2️⃣Sea: Akama Shrine faces the sea, where you can take photos of the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky 🌊 3️⃣The main entrance of the palace: You can see the green pool water inside the palace, which really complements the red building 👍🏻 p.s. The map is in the last picture🗺️ 🍜 【Nearby food recommendations】 1️⃣ Karato Market: A large fish market nearby where you can taste fresh seafood 2️⃣Kamon Wharf Shopping Center: There is a large mall across from the shrine, with a one-stop shopping and food ☝️ 🚌 【Transportation Guide】 1️⃣From JR Sanyo Main Line Suseaki Station, take a bus for 10 minutes to reach Akama Jingu Shrine. 2️⃣From Sanyo Shinkansen Shin-Shimonoseki Station, take a bus for 20 minutes to arrive. 3️⃣Friends who like Citywalk can refer to my walking route: Mojiko Port 👉Underwater Pedestrian Tunnel 👉Akama Jingu Shrine 👉Shimonoseki JR Station.
