 Tips about Katsurashima Shrine

Katsurashima Shrine, located on Katsura Island in the Urato Islands, is a quiet and atmospheric shrine enshrining the Okama-sama and Okutsuhiko Old Deities. Visitors should explore the path lined with camellia trees for a beautiful sea view, but avoid obstructing the road with bicycles.

Recommendations:
- What to do: Take a walk along the promenade behind the shrine, lined with camellia trees, and visit the Mt. Shirasaki Observation Deck.
- What to avoid: Avoid obstructing the road with bicycles.
- Tips: Explore the guardian forest filled with large evergreen tabacus trees, but refrain from inserting objects into the trees to respect the shrine's traditions.
