大崎八幡宮
Miyajidake Shrine
Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, Fukuoka, enshrines Jingu-kogo and is celebrated for two exceptional features: Japan's largest shimenawa (sacred rope), measuring 11 meters in length and weighing 3 tons, and the 'Koudo no Michi' (Path of Light) phenomenon. Twice a year — around the spring and autumn equinoxes — the setting sun aligns perfectly with the shrine's long straight approach road and glows at the far end directly over the sea, drawing large crowds for this natural spectacle.
Twice a year (Feb and Oct), the setting sun aligns perfectly with the shrine's approach road, creating a 'Path of Light' from the shrine to the sea — featured in a viral JAL commercial.
