Futamigaura, Sacred coastal site in Itoshima, Japan.
The white torii gate stands prominently on the beach, framing two large rocks connected by a thick rope located 150 meters offshore.
The sacred rocks at Futamigaura represent Izanagi and Izanami, fundamental deities in Japanese creation mythology dating back to ancient times.
The Meoto Iwa rocks form a significant Shinto site where local residents conduct ceremonies and rituals throughout the calendar year.
Visitors can reach Futamigaura by taking a train to Chikuzen-Maebaru Station and then catching a local bus to the beach area.
During low tide, photographers gather beneath the torii gate to capture images of the sun setting directly between the two sacred stones.
