A highly challenging offering box.
When visiting a shrine, people usually prepare some offering money. However, offering money at Motonosumi Shrine is not easy. The offering box is set on a torii 6 meters above the ground. It can be said that it is the most challenging box to invest money into in Japan. Those who are successful in investing their money are truly lucky and their wishes have a positive outcome. Don't worry if you can't throw it in. There is also an ordinary-height offering box beside the shrine for you to use.
The breathtaking view of Ryugunoshiofukidai
In winter, there is a breathtaking view of Ryugunoshiofukidai, near the shrine. Whenever big waves hit the gaps in the rock wall, a sound like a dragon's roar will be produced. When the north wind blows, the waves can reach 30 meters high. From a distance, it appears as if a dragon is flying in the air. If the sunlight shines at the right angle, you can even see a rainbow up close, which is truly amazing!
