Sakurai Futamigaura Virtual Walk: Meoto Iwa Wedded Rocks and a White Torii at Sunset | Japan

Off a beach in Itoshima, Fukuoka, two rocks called Meoto Iwa, the wedded rocks, are tied together by a sacred straw rope 30 meters long and almost one ton in weight, and every year more than 50 men carry a new rope out to the rocks. Take a short, quiet virtual walk to Sakurai Futamigaura in Itoshima, Fukuoka, Japan. Along the way: the two wedded rocks of Meoto Iwa and the sacred straw rope that ties them together, the yearly ceremony that hangs a new rope, the white torii gate on the beach and how the tide covers its base, the blue hour around sunrise and sunset, and friendly tips on the tides, the drive from Fukuoka and parking.
