A very impressive photo spot with waves splashing

The "Kamiiso Torii" at Oarai Isosaki Shrine is truly a "sea trip moment" to be experienced with all five senses. As you descend the cliff and the sound of rough waves fills your ears, the torii, floating alone on the reef, swaying in the sea breeze, is simply mystical. As the sun rises, the crimson light shines on the torii, and the moment when the crests of the waves reflect off of it is breathtaking. The horizon of the Pacific Ocean opens up beyond the torii. Every time the white water breaks and hits the rocks, the sound of the waves and the scent of the sea rush in at the same time, making you feel the breath of the sea deep inside your body. This magnificent moment sweeps away the everyday and invites you to the inner tranquility of simply "watching this scene now." In the dim light before dawn, the moonlight casts a shadow on the torii, and its divinity trembles in your heart. The poetic sentiment of Tokugawa Mitsukuni, who also composed waka poems here, reaches us as a voice from long ago, and the time spent surrounded by the breath of history and nature leaves a quiet lingering impression in the heart. As the sun rises, the torii gate becomes a light source, merging with the horizon and eventually coming to life. By "simply being there", it is a sacred signal that unites the waves, the sky, and yourself. This is where a trip moment can be found - the torii gate standing on the sea at Oarai is a place that gives you a "moment of prayer" where you can deeply connect with yourself in an extraordinary setting. #AbsolutelyFreeTravel
