Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple) has been known as a sunrise worship place since ancient times. Approximately 700 meters offshore lies the Okitama Shinseki (spirit stone) associated with Sarutahiko no Okami, which is said to be the place where the descending god rests and is a sacred place where the gods from the land of eternity approach.
Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple) is considered to be a torii gate from which to admire the Okitamajinseki and the sunrise. Otokoiwa is 9m high, Onnaiwa is 4m high, and the Oshimenawa that connects the Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple) is 35m long and stretched 16m to Otokoiwa and 10m to Onnaiwa. It is 9m long.
The Oshimenawahari Shinto ritual is held every year on May 5th, September 5th, and Saturdays and Sundays in mid-December, and it is crowded with many people.
・From May to July, you can see the sunrise from between Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple).
