Popular among women for praying for love fulfillment All women's wishes will come true!
The shrine is built in a cave jutting out from the rock, which makes it look as if it is floating on the sea, a rarity in Japan. The deity is Sukunabikono-no-mikoto, who together with Okuninushi no-mikoto created the nation of Japan, and is regarded as the god of national stability and protection of navigation, as well as the god of marriage and safe childbirth. It is said that one of the wishes of women in particular will surely be granted. At low tide, looking out to sea from the shrine, a rock with a heart-shaped hole can be seen, and it is said that if you throw in a "wish stone" that has been purified at Awashima Shrine, your wish will come true. The name of the stone is "Kanoi-ishi," or "wish stone. The monument "Yui" in the park is an excellent photo spot as a symbol of the Love Fulfillment Road. Many couples make a wish on the "En" monument, which is covered with many love keys.

The contrast between the orange sunset sparkling on the surface of the water and the striped pattern of the mud flat is so striking that it has been selected as one of the "100 best sunsets in Japan.

A fundamental center for mountain ascetic monks with a history of more than 1,300 years
The Kunitachi Peninsula is where the unique Buddhist culture of Rokugo-Mansan, a syncretism of Shintoism and Buddhism, flourished. Ryokoji Temple, the core of the Rokko-Mansan Buddhist tradition, is located halfway up Ryoko Mountain and is said to have been founded by Ninkon Bosatsu in 718 (2nd year of Yoro). Nakayama Honji Temple, which was intended for ascetic practices, flourished as a center for mountain asceticism. In the Edo period (1603-1867), it became the highest prayer hall of the Kitsuki clan and supervised all the mountains as the Soji-in Temple of Rokugo Manzan. On either side of the stone steps leading to the temple gate stands one of the largest stone Kongorikishi (Nio) statues in the Kunisaki Peninsula (total height 245 cm, height 230 cm), said to have been made in the late Edo period. Combined with the surrounding dense old trees, it stands out for its solemn appearance. The temple grounds have been designated as one of the 100 best forests in Japan for forest bathing. It is famous for its fresh greenery and autumn foliage. In the inner sanctuary, there is a place to pray for the birth of a child.

The oldest wooden building in Kyushu and a national treasure. The main statue, a seated Amida Nyorai, is a national treasure.

The Amida Hall is the oldest existing wooden structure in Kyushu and is designated as a national treasure. It is also one of the three Amida halls in Japan, along with the Hōōōdō Hall of Byōdōin Temple in Uji and the Konjikidō Hall of Chūson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi. The main image of a seated wooden Amida Nyorai (Amitabha) is said to have been built by Ninkon Bosatsu (Nichinon Bosatsu) from a large close-cut tree, and is a National Important Cultural Property. The interior of the hall is decorated with wall paintings depicting the world of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which have faded over the years, but were once painted in rich colors. Other structures around the hall include a nimonishi (stone) with inscriptions of Sanskrit characters, a kasatoba (a pagoda) from the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and a kokuto-to (pagoda) from the Muromachi period (1333-1568), all of which remind visitors of the prosperity of Fuki-ji in the past. There is a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant and inn run by the temple's priest (the wife of the temple's abbess) on the side of the temple, so why not have a soba lunch?
