#Spring0yenTrip
Aoshima Shrine is a beautiful shrine located in Aoshima, Miyazaki Prefecture, and its appearance, quietly standing in the nature of Aoshima, is impressive. Located on an island floating in the sea, surrounded by blue sea and greenery in a warm tropical climate, the shrine makes you feel as if you have come to another world. Aoshima itself is known as a power spot, and is a place that brings peace and healing to visitors.
The shrine grounds are steeped in a long history, and are particularly famous for the strange rock formations known as "Oni no Sentakuita." These rocks are natural formations formed over a long period of time by erosion by waves, and exude a mysterious atmosphere. There are also "omikuji" (fortune slips) and "votive plaques" inside the shrine, where visitors can make prayers and make wishes.

Summer in Miyazaki felt particularly hot, but
the torii gates standing against the blue sea and blue sky of summer are strangely fitting⛩️
Aoshima Shrine is popular for matchmaking, but it is said to connect all kinds of connections...so I prayed.
And there is an interesting way to visit Aoshima Shrine that is different from other shrines.
〈How to visit〉
1. Before going to Aoshima Shrine, look for shells in the sand at the sandbar across Yayoi Bridge (if you can't find one, find a shell that you think is the one!)
2. Make a wish at the shrine at the end of the rainforest
3. Offer a shell
All you need to do is have the desire to find it! With a little effort, you'll find it right away🔍✨
