Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, Fukuoka, is known as a “power spot” for business success, attracting over 2.2 million visitors annually. Perched on a hill, the shrine offers sweeping views of the town, the sea, and its impressive approach from the top of its steps. My (Ryu's) family home is nearby, and I often visited with my girlfriend when I was young, enjoying peaceful walks in its tranquil atmosphere.

Twice a year, in late February and October, Miyajidake becomes especially popular for the “Path of Light” phenomenon, when the setting sun perfectly aligns with the shrine’s approach, creating a stunning golden pathway. This magical sight gained national attention after it was featured in a Japan Airlines commercial with the popular group Arashi, viewable here on YouTube.
