About the famous shrine near the sea Hi. Today, I'd like to introduce the shrine called Motonosumiinarijinja in Yamaguchi Prefecture. There is a famous spot for foreigners because there was featured in the American TV program CNN. I have been to there twice. The first time, there was not featured in the media so there were few people, but the second time, there were so many people when I went there in July. There are also foreigner. Motonosui-inari-jinja is including the word which is "inari" so there are many red shrine's symbol called by torii. For example, Fushimi-inari-jinja that is one of the most famous Japanese sightseeing spot for foreigners is also including the "inari" so there are many "torii". Motonosumiinarijinja is surrounded by the sea so you can pass under the "torii" while we see the red of the "torii" and the blue of the sea. You can see the sea and "torii" simulataneously so you can take a picture and put on the Instagram.
