    Motonosumi shrine was once selected by CNN as one of the most beautiful places in Japan. Motonosumi Shrine, located in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, has an endless torii tunnel. These 123 red torii extend all the way along the hillside to the cliff edge, creating a magnificent landscape with the blue sky, green land, and blue ocean. When visiting a shrine, people typically make offerings. However, offering money at Motonosumi Shrine is not easy. The offering box is set on a torii that is 6 meters above the ground. It can be said that investing money into this box is the most challenging in Japan. Successful investors are truly lucky and their wishes have a positive outcome. The breathtaking view of Ryugunoshiofukidai.
