#Spring0yenTrip I visited Kuratake Shrine and Hui Cafe and spent a day that cleansed my soul. At Kuratake Shrine, the torii gates and shrine buildings, standing in silence, blended with nature and created a sacred atmosphere. Every time I walked along the approach to the shrine, my mind calmed and I was able to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Afterwards, I took a break at the nearby Hui Cafe. From the open space with a white base, I could see the beautiful sea, and enjoyed the dishes and sweets made with local ingredients along with the pleasant sea breeze. In particular, the lunch plate made with fresh seafood from Amakusa was exquisite. This trip, which combined nature and gourmet food, was a wonderful experience that refreshed both my mind and body.

✵ Kumamoto Prefecture 2024.05 ⁡ ＼Amakusa's scenic spots／ [Kuratake Shrine] A scenic spot where you can see the ocean and islands of Amakusa from the shrine at the top of the mountain😍😍 A breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view! ! Because it was Golden Week, the summit was crowded with people🥲I waited for the flow of people and took a photo in an instant! ☑︎About access After parking my car at the summit parking lot, I walked about 10 to 15 minutes along the mountain path. Wear comfortable shoes. Also, there are mountain roads along the way where it is difficult for cars to pass each other, so drive carefully. ⚠︎ Because it was Golden Week, there were a lot of cars passing by, so it's best to go early in the morning when there are fewer people around. 😱 Please use this as a reference for your trip to Kumamoto. ✍️ ⁡ 📍Kuratake Shrine, Kumamoto Prefecture 📮Tanasoko, Kuratake-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, 861-6402 🚗Parking lot ◎ 🗓️2024.05 #Domestic Travel Strategy

#getgoing2025 Kuratake Shrine is located on the top of Kuratake, the highest peak of the Amakusa Islands, which has been worshipped as a sacred mountain in the Amakusa region since ancient times, and was built to pray for the safety of fishermen and navigation. The view from the top of the mountain is outstanding, and you can enjoy a large panorama of the Yashiro Sea, the Ariake Sea, and the islands of Goshoura below. If it's sunny, you can take beautiful photos like a torii in the sky. Please enjoy the special view that can only be seen here. There is also a parking lot near the top of the mountain, so you can go by car, but be careful when driving because it goes down a narrow road.

When you hear "Torii in the Sky", where do you think of? Isn't it Takaya Shrine in Kagawa Prefecture? There is a torii gate with a spectacular view that is even higher than that! That is "Kuratake Shrine" in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture I think this is the true torii gate in the sky! The view from here is also spectacular✨The road to get here is tough, but it's worth it! Please drive very safely⚠️ If you're afraid of passing other cars, it might be better not to drive💦 ~~~~~~Information~~~~~~~ 📍Kuratake Shrine ・Location: 3409-1 Tanasoko, Kuratake-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture ・Access: 2.5 hours from Kumamoto Airport ・Opening hours: 24 hours ・Fee: Free ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Sakura2024 #Japan's Spectacular Views #Domestic Travel #Kumamoto Tourism

On a day trip to Amakusa, we went to Kuratake Shrine, which has a torii gate in the sky. 🚗 ⁡ A shrine built to pray for safe fishing at the summit of Kuratake, the highest peak in the Amakusa Islands (682m above sea level) ⛩️ ⁡ We climbed the narrow mountain road while praying for oncoming cars to stop, and arrived at a spectacular view overlooking the Yatsushiro Sea and Ariake Sea 🥺✨ ⁡ You can only get there by car, but I definitely recommend you go 💕 ⁡ ⁡I thought Amakusa was far from Kumamoto City, but I enjoyed it even on a day trip 👌 If you go to Kumamoto City, consider it one of your sightseeing options! #tourism #kumamototourism #kumamototrip
