Hakoshima, a small island jutting into the sea reminiscent of the mythical Dragon Palace, features the revered Hakoshima Shrine, dedicated to the deities of love and ear healing. Surrounded by sea on three sides, this scenic spot appears to float on water, offering stunning sunsets. It’s a hidden gem of natural beauty, accessible only at low tide, as there’s no bridge.
