Akama Shrine

Uniquely designed shrine

This shrine had a really unique design - the main gate is unlike any other shrine I’d seen in Japan. You can easily walk to the shrine from the Karato Market, so if you’re starting the day off with some fresh fish, definitely walk over here afterwards. We were there early, so I don’t know if there are people available to fill in your shrine stamp book if you have one - I assume if you went there later in the day though that you’d be able to. You can get some really nice views of the waterfront from the shrine as well, making it a very picturesque spot to visit.
