67. Okinoshima 沖ノ島 宗像大社 Both the island and the shrine are off limits to the public, local fishermen and all boats keep a respectful distance from the island. Although Shinto priests are stationed on the island, performing rituals on certain occasions, they are not allowed to speak of them nor allow outsiders to the island. The island is only accessible by boat exclusively for the Shinto priests and is only viewable to the public at a discreet distance.
