Futami Okitama Shrine, Shinto shrine near Meoto Iwa rocks in Ise, Japan
Futami Okitama Shrine stands adjacent to the ocean with two sacred rocks connected by a thick rope marking its spiritual boundary point.
The shrine became a purification site where pilgrims performed ritual cleansing before proceeding to the main Ise Grand Shrine complex.
The shrine grounds contain numerous frog statues, donated by people whose wishes were granted, representing the return of good fortune.
Visitors can reach the shrine via the CAN Bus from Ise Station, with a short walk from the Meotoiwahigashi bus stop.
Between the two sacred rocks, observers can witness the summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice moonrise throughout the year.
