Fukuoka Kanmon Bridge and Motonosumi Shrine Guided Tour
Обзор
Regarding visiting Motonosumi Shrine: Starting March 1st, the main hall of the shrine will be closed to visitors on Saturdays, Sundays, Japanese public holidays, and during the periods of May 2nd–10th and August 8th–16th. However, the red torii gate area along the coast will remain open to visitors as usual. Embark on a journey from Fukuoka along the blue coastline of northern Kyushu, where stunning scenery intertwines with rich culture. Begin with a drive past the Kanmon Bridge, spanning the Kanmon Strait, and appreciate the magnificent connection between Kyushu and Honshu. Arrive at Karato Market, where you can select freshly made sushi and seafood snacks amidst the bustling atmosphere of the fishing port, savoring the freshest flavors of the harbor. Next, head to Motonosumi Shrine in Yamaguchi Prefecture, capturing dreamy views of the contrast between the red torii gates and the azure sea. Then, explore the Mojiko Retro District, where vintage European-style buildings reflect in the tranquil bay, as if time has slipped back to the Meiji era. Finally, take the Sarakurayama Cable Car to the summit and admire the "million-dollar night view," overlooking the illuminated cityscape of northern Kyushu. From day to night, this trip connects the most captivating coastline and the most romantic night of lights in northern Kyushu.
