Munakata Taisha
World Heritage site protecting the sea routes, home of the Three Goddesses.
Head shrine of roughly 6,000 Munakata shrines. It comprises three shrines: Hetsu-gū (mainland), Nakatsu-gū (Oshima island), and Okitsu-gū (Okinoshima island). The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site centered on ancient rituals.
神社歷史緣起
Munakata Taisha is one of the oldest shrines, preserving ancient Shinto rituals. The island of Okinoshima (Okitsu-gū) is particularly sacred; women are forbidden from entering, and men must undergo purification (misogi) in the sea before landing. It has been a site of ritual offerings for safe voyages to the continent since the 4th century.
Over 80,000 artifacts (National Treasures) have been found on Okinoshima, earning it the nickname 'Shoso-in of the Sea'.

境內看點
The main shrine visitors see is Hetsu-gū on the mainland. The Treasure Hall (Shimpokan) here displays the incredible treasures excavated from Okinoshima, including golden rings and mirrors from ancient Persia, showing the extent of trade.
Okinoshima itself cannot be visited by tourists, but it can be worshipped from a distance at the viewing spot on Oshima island.
重大祭典
The 'Miare Festival' on October 1st is a grand sea procession where fishing boats carry the portable shrines of the goddesses from the islands to meet their sister on the mainland.
