23歳で神社を引き継ぐも「食べていけない」　参拝客1日10人→三が日で5万人超に 「世界一の神社」目指す30歳宮司の挑戦　／　（2025/03/03 OA）

"After my predecessor passed away..." said Yuki Yoshikai, the chief priest of Fukushima Hachiman Shrine in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, at the young age of 23. He faced the harsh reality of not being able to make a living. In an effort to overcome this situation, he launched a series of new initiatives, and while the number of visitors initially numbered around 10 per day, now exceeds 50,000 during the first three days of the New Year alone. We interviewed the 30-year-old chief priest, who aims to make the shrine "the best in the world." #Goshuin #Shrine #ChiefPriest #YameCity #Fukuoka #fukuoka
