Chinkoku-ji

Chinkoku-ji is an ancient temple enshrined in Munakata, and was deeply connected with shrines during the era of syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. This land is a sacred place where the divine virtue of the three female deities of Munakata resides, and has developed as an important place of prayer for national peace and prosperity. Since ancient times, faith has been bound to the sea deity, and people wishing for maritime safety and national peace have continuously visited to worship. The grounds, surrounded by Munakata's abundant nature, are filled with powerful divine energy amid quietude, making it an ideal place to purify the heart.
