Priests taking care of a Japanese shrine made famous through its inclusion in Ghost of Tsushima have banned all tourists from their site.
Watazumi Shrine is found on Tsushima Island. Most famous for its half-sunken Torii gate, it's thought to have inspired Ghost of Tsushima's in-game Scarlet Rock shrine, and received $260,000 from the game's community after it was damaged in a 2020 typhoon. Now, however, its caretakers have issued a statement banning all tourists from visiting.
