Traveler highlights
Munakata Taisha is the collective name for three shrines: Okitsu-miya on Okinoshima, Nakatsu-miya on Oshima, and Hetsu-miya on the mainland. Dedicated to the Munakata goddesses, it became a World Heritage site in 2017. Most visitors come to Hetsu-miya in Tashima, following a wooded path to the main shrine. The Shinpokan museum displays finds connected with worship on Okinoshima, including about 80,000 items designated National Treasures. The objects offer insight into ancient faith and maritime exchange. A visit links the shrine, forest path, and treasures to Munakata culture.
