[Yamaguchi] A historic and romantic shrine overlooking the sea

We went to Akama Shrine in Shimonoseki, in the west of Yamaguchi Prefecture. 🚗 Akama Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Antoku, who was defeated in the Genpei War. ⛩️ It is said that Emperor Antoku drowned himself after being told, "There is a capital in the sea," and the shrine looks like the palace of the Dragon King. ⁡ From the shrine, you can see the Kanmon Straits and the fast currents. 🌊 It's romantic to think that a historical battle took place here. The Akama Shrine festival, which is held from May 2nd to 3rd, will make you feel like you've traveled back in time, as you can see the procession of courtesans. ✨ #tourism #Yamaguchitourism #Yamaguchitrip
