Tokyo: There are many amazing places and strange rules all over the world. Even centuries ago, various rules and regulations were formulated in all these places. And the centuries-old rules are still maintained. Today we will tell the story of one such place. Where only men can go. However, women are not allowed to go there. It is not a temple-mosque or a religious place. This rule is actually formulated on an island.
But why such strange rules on this island? The island in Japan is called Okinoshima. It is spread over an area of about 700 square meters. Even, the island of Okinoshima has made it to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A temple here is dedicated to the goddess of the sea, but women are not allowed to enter it.
Tradition has it that the island was a center of trade between the Korean Islands and China from the 4th to the 9th centuries. This place is considered very sacred religiously. However, the religious restrictions that have prevailed on the island since ancient times are maintained even today. One of them is the ban on the arrival and departure of women here. However, even though men are allowed to enter here, there are some strict restrictions for them too. That is, even if men come here, they have to follow some strict rules.
In fact, men cannot bathe without clothes when they come here. Not only that, the rules here are so strict that only 200 men can come here throughout the year. Even if they go to the island of Okinoshima, men cannot take anything with them. And they have to keep the idea of going to this island a secret from everyone. According to the Asahi Shimbun report, there is a temple called Munakata Taisha Okitsu. Where the goddess of the sea is worshipped. It is said that around the 17th century, this temple was mainly worshiped for the safety of ships during sea voyages.
