Stop by the mystical “legendary sea torii gate” floating in the Ariake Sea.
- Ouo Shrine’s “underwater torii gate” is said to date back about 300 years. It is located near Okinoshima in Tara Town, where the gate becomes submerged at high tide.
- According to legend, the gate was built after a drunk corrupt magistrate was left behind on the island as a form of punishment. At that moment, a large fish (Namiuo) appeared and saved him. Deeply moved, the magistrate is said to have repented and later established Ouo Shrine and the underwater torii gate.
- Even today, visitors come to pray for bountiful catches and maritime safety. The site is also known as a mystical attraction where the scenery changes dramatically with the tides, offering a unique way to experience the power of the moon’s gravity.
