How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A discovery location on the coast: two rocks in clear water, tied together with a thick sacred rope.
The real place
The Wedded Rocks stand in the sea off Futami, in front of Futami Okitama Shrine. The large and small rock are joined by a heavy shimenawa rope that priests replace in a ceremony several times a year.
Visiting
Come at dawn between May and July, when the sun rises between the two rocks; on very clear days Mount Fuji appears on the horizon behind them. Ise Grand Shrine is a short train ride away.
