Have you ever seen such a beautiful sunrise perfectly aligned behind a shrine? 🌇⛩ Off the coast of Kitsuki in Oita Prefecture, you'll find one of the most atmospheric torii gates in Japan! This lovely torii gate belonging to Hachiman Nada Shrine sits on a small island in the Iyonada Sea. It is jaw-droppingly stunning when the sun rises behind it! This is just a wonderfully framed photo, @a_sassamt! Thank you and @welcomekyushu for sharing it! Follow @visitjapanjp for a daily dose of inspiration from Japan.
