Let's write an article here that fully conveys the charm of the Cycling Shrine.
Inujima, a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, is home to the unique "Cycling Shrine". It is a special shrine dedicated to the patron god of bicycles, which is rare nationwide.
Inujima is a key point on the scenic cycling route connecting the Shimanami Kaido and Yumebutai Island. This is why it is called the sacred place for cyclists. This cycling shrine is a fitting presence for such a cycling paradise.
As you proceed along the approach, you will encounter a scene known as the "Bicycle Forest". Bicycles are densely packed in front of the shrine. The shrine maidens offering to take commemorative photos with visitors' beloved bicycles are also popular.
Unique amulets in the shape of bicycles are available on the premises. It is a good idea to wear the amulet and take a memorable photo in the hope of a safe journey.
Here, there is indeed a special benefit befitting a cycling shrine, allowing worshippers to pray while riding their bicycles. The experience of passing through the torii gate and shrine on a bike is sure to surprise everyone.
In modern times, where cycling has become a part of everyday life, the Cycling Shrine may be the spiritual sanctuary of cyclists. Let's capture a memorable photo wrapped in a wonderful landscape and the atmosphere of the divine precincts to cherish as a memento of our journey.
