Miyajidake Jinja 宮地嶽神社
The largest shimenawa in Japan: 13.5 m and 5 t, remade every year by 1,500 people.
The shrine stands on a hill overlooking the sea, in Fukutsu. Next to it is a kofun (an ancient burial mound) with the second-longest stone chamber in Japan, 23 metres, a sign of an important settlement even before the shrine was built. It receives more than 2.2 million visitors a year.
