The oldest power spot in Izu! Enjoy a mystical time at the seaside "Ikonahime Shrine (Shirahama Shrine)" ♪

#Spring0yenTrip Located along the beautiful coast of Shimoda, Izu, Ikonahime-no-Mikoto Shrine (also known as Shirahama Shrine) is the oldest shrine in Izu, said to have been founded about 2,400 years ago! It is a place surrounded by a sacred atmosphere where nature and myth intersect, and just visiting it feels like your soul is cleansed...♪ The vermilion main hall stands out against the green forest and blue sky, making it a truly "shining shrine"! Furthermore, once you leave the temple grounds, there is a scenic spot where you can see the entire Shirahama coast, and when you look out at the sea through the torii gate, a picture-postcard-like landscape spreads out before you. Early morning visits and sunset times are especially recommended! It is said to bring good luck in finding a partner and praying for safe childbirth, so it is no wonder that it is popular with couples and women. On the beach, there is also "Kimome Benten Island," where it is said that a god descended, and you can enjoy a little trekking. 📍Basic information (check the official website for the latest information) ✴︎Address: 2740 Shirahama, Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture ✴︎Access: Take a bus from Izukyu Shimoda Station for about 15 minutes and get off at "Shirahama Jinja-mae" bus stop ✴︎Admission: Free to visit ✴︎Opening hours: Free to enter the grounds (office open from 9:00 to 16:00) Experience the mysteries of Izu at this healing spot where nature and faith blend together♪
