Located right next to the sea, Kamafuka Shrine is a little mysterious because it is said that a kettle lid was found and worshipped as a god. If you put the kettle lid shown in the fourth photo on your head and walk from the torii gate to the offering box without using your hands, you will have good luck✨ So I tried it! If you walk slowly and without rushing, it surprisingly won't fall off😳 It was a fun shrine that was like a little theme park! #supporttourism #kagoshima #shrine #themepark #seasidescenery #supporttourism
