#japantrip #ise Visiting Meoto Iwa, the “Married Couple Rocks,” at Ise, Japan, was a truly serene and meaningful experience. Located along the coast near Futami Okitama Shrine, these two sacred rocks, connected by a shimenawa (a sacred rope), symbolize the union of husband and wife, as well as harmony and connection in relationships. The larger rock represents the husband, while the smaller one symbolizes the wife, and together they stand as a powerful testament to love and partnership. Watching the waves gently crash against the rocks, felt both calming and awe-inspiring. At the nearby shrine, we sought a love amulet to pray for blessings and lasting relationships. The combination of natural beauty and spiritual significance at Meoto Iwa made this visit truly memorable and heartwarming, leaving us feeling hopeful and connected to this sacred place.

It is close to JR Futamiura Station, but there are not many JR trains. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the scenic spot. If you take the Kintetsu, you can only go to Ise or Toba to transfer to the bus There are not many buses, about one bus per hour, so it is better to drive yourself. There are coffee shops along the road of Couple Rock, which are perfect for sitting down and enjoying the natural scenery. If you pass by Sanchong, you can go there, but it is not worth a special visit

Futamiokitama Shrine is located near Meoto Iwa (Married Rocks). It is a white shrine by the sea. Tourists often come here to pray and buy amulets to worship. There are large and small frog statues in this shrine. Ise people believe that the god "Sarutahiko Okami" is enshrined here. Many "Futami frogs", who are said to be Sarutahiko Okami's messengers, are dedicated there. It is said that the pond with the frog statues enshrined inside the Chozuya is a pond where men pour water on the frogs on the right and women receive blessings from the gods by pouring water on the frogs on the left. This will make your wishes come true. 📍 Access: 15-minute walk from JR Futaminoura Station [JR trains] Same entrance as Meoto Iwa #TravelJapan #MieFrogShrine #FutamiokitamaShrine #Futamiokitama Shrine #Mie travel #mie #Kansai travel
