The city of Munakata overlooks the Genkai and Hibiki Seas and is renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage. This heritage includes the Munakata Taisha shrines, one of which is located on the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Okinoshima Island. The city is also home to a guest house run by young people that offers activities such as fishing boat cruises and a two-day tour called the “World Heritage Munakata Taisha Special Spiritual Tour” that includes an overnight stay.
