Sacred scenic spot to visit in peaceful tranquility
The torii that stands at Kamiiso, the place where two gods descended, is one of the torii of Oarai Isosaki Shrine.
The moment when the torii is illuminated in the morning sun and the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean break white on the reefs is a divine sight.
Kamiiso is where the deities who established Oarai Isosaki Shrine are said to have descended.
The stone torii standing on the solemn reef is called Kamiiso no Torii and is now known as a representative scenery of Oarai and a sacred place in Japan.
The stone torii standing in dignity and the violent white waves. The gentle horizon stretches endlessly. The simple sound of stones rubbing against each other mixed with the sound of waves on the beach. Hours spent on the Kamiiso are like a gift from heaven, making you forget the passage of time. The mysterious scenery of Kamiiso at dawn attracts a constant stream of visitors and is a popular spot for photography. The night is also ethereal as the moonlight casts the shadow of the torii on the sea. The poetic night sea with its calm moon and rough waves, which Tokugawa Mitsukuni wrote about inside his waka “Isotsuki,” will give you peace of mind along with the sound of the waves.
