[Saga Prefecture] A power spot that connects to Okinoshima! "Underwater Torii"

Tara Town is a small fishing village in the southern part of Saga Prefecture. On the coast of Tara, there is a "underwater torii gate" that is said to have been built about 300 years ago by the residents of the town, when an evil magistrate was imprisoned on "Okinoshima Island" off the coast of the Ariake Sea, as a sign of gratitude for being saved by the dragon god. The three-pronged vermilion torii gate is at the forefront, and a smaller torii gate is built in a straight line toward Okinoshima. At low tide, you can get close to the torii gate, but at high tide, part of the torii gate is submerged, and it is truly mystical as it is bathed in the morning and evening sun. By the way, Mini Tara Town has a catchphrase "The town where you can see the gravity of the moon" and has been certified as one of the proud heritage sites of Saga Prefecture. Then, on the land side of the torii gate, there is Oouo Shrine, which is dedicated to prayers for safe voyages and good catches. Okinotori - Oouo Shrine - Mt. Tara (considered to be a sacred place) are connected in a straight line, completing a ley line that is a so-called power spot. In addition, since it is close to a fishing port and a roadside station, you can enjoy fresh and delicious Takezaki crab and seafood from the Ariake Sea. #tripdomestictravel #sagaprefecture #spectacularview #shrinesandtemples #powerspot
