Kinkasan is a very sacred and mysterious island where the entire island floating in the Pacific Ocean has been revered as a divine realm. Enshrining the Koganeyama Shrine, it is also known as a powerful power spot with a legend since ancient days saying "visiting 3 consecutive years will solve money troubles." Remaining untouched nature where wild deer and horses live leisurely, visiting this island makes you forget daily busyness, resetting mind and body from the depths. Deeply touching the history of Japan's syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism and the breath of rich nature, spend an intellectual and special travel moment in Kinkasan.
