Motonosumi Shrine, located in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is renowned for its unique landscape featuring 123 red torii gates lined up in a straight line towards the Japan Sea. The striking contrast between the blue sea and the vibrant red torii gates creates a picturesque scene that captivates countless visitors. The shrine is particularly breathtaking on sunny mornings when the torii gates are illuminated by the backlight. Be sure to try tossing a coin into the offertory box at the top of the large torii gate, as it is said that your wish will come true if you do so successfully. The surrounding area also offers plenty of sightseeing opportunities, including Aogashima Island, a world-class diving spot, Higashi Gotohata terraced rice fields, and Senjodai, known for its stunning natural rock formations.
