Message from Tony Xia

I consider this shrine to be quite powerful, as the weather always seems rough whenever I'm there—maybe it's symbolic of something, haha. The area is a popular sightseeing spot, with beach access and an aquarium nearby. There are also a few beautiful coastal hotels if you're looking to stay in the area.

Futami Okitama Shrine, located in Ise, Japan, is a Shinto shrine closely associated with the famous Meoto Iwa rocks, which represent the gods Izanagi and Izanami. Couples often visit to pray for a strong marriage, as the shrine’s coastal location enhances its romantic appeal. The grounds feature statues of frogs, which are believed to bring back people and lost objects. Visitors can also participate in purification rituals before heading to the nearby Ise Grand Shrine.
