Useful tips
- Daytime is best if you want to see both the shrine and Naminoue Beach.
- The shrine grounds are a quiet place of worship, so be mindful of the atmosphere around you when taking photos.
- When planning the route, it can be hard to decide whether to see the beach or the shrine first. Official tourism information lists the shrine as an attraction in the Naminoue area, so a natural daytime flow is to enjoy the beach scenery first, then make a quiet shrine visit.
- Even if free parking is listed, it only has space for about 20 cars, so there isn't much room to spare. If you're on a rental-car itinerary, save a few nearby paid parking options on your map too.
