Miyajidake Shrine

Miyajidake Shrine stands at the top of a stone stairway, featuring a long approach road that extends straight toward the Genkai Sea.

The shrine grounds contain Japan's largest ancient megalithic tomb, measuring 23 meters in length with a five-meter-high stone chamber ceiling.

Local volunteers gather annually to create a new shimenawa rope for the shrine, maintaining a tradition that connects the community to their spiritual heritage.

Visitors can reach the shrine by taking the JR Kagoshima line to Fukuma Station, followed by a short bus ride to Miyajidake-jinja-mae stop.

The shrine houses Japan's largest ceremonial objects: a three-ton shimenawa rope, a 450-kilogram copper bell, and a 2.2-meter diameter taiko drum.
