Vue d'ensemble

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.
