Fukuoka Ino Amaterasu Shrine is an ancient shrine filled with a sacred atmosphere, located in the mountains on the outskirts of Fukuoka, seemingly isolated from the world. The moment you enter the shrine, the serene air between the torii gates immediately gives you a sense of spiritual cleansing. This shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu, the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, making it not only a center of faith but also a holy place where people pray for peace and prosperity. The surrounding natural scenery and the ancient architecture of the shrine create a harmonious picture, making you slow down and deeply immerse yourself in the embrace of nature. If you seek spiritual tranquility and protection, this place is undoubtedly the ideal destination.

This place used to be Hisayama Onsen, but it has been stylishly renovated. There are books and organic products, and you can spend a relaxing time eating shaved ice while looking at the view.

"Torias Petting Zoo" Overall, you can get up close to the animals! You can get up close and personal with many animals and even feed them. The highlight here is the beavers! At other zoos, you can only see them from afar, but here you can get up close and personal with them! I was soothed by the sight of them all eating together 😄 It seems like a baby beaver was born in June, so I definitely want to go see it 😄 The admission fee is 500 yen, and it may seem small if you go thinking it's a zoo, but it's recommended for those who want to casually interact with the animals! 📍991 Yamada, Hisayama-cho, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture, 811-2502 Location: Torias #0 yen trip

#0yentravel I went to The Vanish, located inside Nayuta, which opened on July 14th in Hisayama! The bathroom is spacious and open, and the warm temperature makes it easy to take a long bath. After the bath, you can also have a meal at a vegan restaurant or a brown rice rice ball specialty store. The cafe menu is also full of healthy items, such as enzyme drinks. It was my first time trying vegan food, but it was much more delicious than I had imagined, and I was surprised!

#0yentrip Kikiricky is an Italian breakfast restaurant in Hisayama, Fukuoka Prefecture. What's interesting is that it's cheaper if you make a reservation early in the morning.
