From December 15 (Wed.) to 19 (Sun.), 2021, shrines, local communities, and tourism businesses will collaborate to light up Motonosumi Shrine, a famous tourist attraction in Nagato City, in the "Motonosumi Shrine Light-up Souryu Ikkai: Winter" (sponsored by Big One Next) (tickets go on sale November 20 [Sat. November 20 (Sat.) at 10:00 a.m.).
Souryu Ikkai" is the general name for a big project to revitalize local tourism in After Corona by "creating a town with the local community". The Motonosumi Shrine, selected as one of the "31 Most Beautiful Places in Japan" by CNN (USA), will be brought to life using the latest technology. 123 torii gates will move like living dragon gods, and visitors will be able to walk through the shrine's womb to ward off evil and come closer to their wishes. The event is an elaborate one.
Come on, let's be swallowed by the dragon god this winter.
