The shrine on these routes is almost always Motonosumi, a run of red torii stepping down a cliff to the Sea of Japan, done in daylight before the Sarakura night view. A private car opens up Munakata Taisha and Miyajidake, where the sunset lines up with the approach road in February and October.
Compare Motonosumi Shrine’s red gates, Karato seafood and Sarakurayama’s night view on a long, useful day trip from Fukuoka.
