Sakatsura Isomae Shrine

Flow of the course

About this spot

An ancient shrine with over 1,100 years of history since its founding. The approximately 300-meter approach lined with tabunoki and camellia trees forms a mystical "green tunnel." Beyond the approach, the sea comes into view, and the turtle stone statue—said to bring good fortune when touched—is popular with families.

Tips

The approach is shaded and cool even in summer, with flat terrain that's easy to navigate with a stroller. Be sure to touch the lucky turtle stone statue with your children—it's famous for lottery jackpot wishes.

Best time to visit

30-45 minutes; the dappled evening sunlight is magical
