It is a highly recommended hidden gem spot.

⊿ Location Introduction

It is said to be the oldest Kabe Island Tashima Shrine in Hizen. The pirates of the Matsuura Party and the fishermen of Genkai worship the three goddesses who sought salvation when there was a maritime crisis, and are widely known as the gods of protecting the sea of Genkai.

There are torii gates donated by Minamoto Yorimitsu, Ikariishi of Genpai, Taikoishi that is said to have been used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he was in Nagoya, and armor donated by the samurai of Matsuura, etc., making you feel the history.

This time, I'm shooting the port from the shrine.
The other side of the port is also connected and you can shoot from the other side!
