Okinoshima Island in the Genkai Sea is a mystical island where ancient faith still breathes, and the entire island is registered as a World Cultural Heritage site as an “Island where Gods reside.” The island is a sanctuary, and tens of thousands of national treasures excavated from the ritual ruins are extremely important evidence in Japan’s spiritual history. Although it is difficult for the general public to land on the island, the strict taboos and history of the untouched nature that has been protected evoke a solemn sense of awe in visitors.
