Summary

Watazumi Shrine on Tsushima has banned all visiting tourists.
A grave and unforgivable act involving tourists occurred a few days ago, prompting this drastic action.
Ghost of Tsushima fans previously donated $180k to Watazumi Shrine to repair a damaged torii gate.

A shrine on Japan's Tsushima Island has banned all tourists from visiting after an "unforgivable" incident involving a tourist (nice spo🤡t, and thanks for the translation, ).

The Watazumi Shrine on Tsushima is famed for its half-sunken torii gates. The shrine is believed to have inspired the Scarlet Rock Shrine from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima - a shrine that features a torii gate half-sunken into a swamp. The Watazumi🌱 Shrine was damaged by a typhoon in 2020, and Ghost of Tsushim😼a fans were instrumental in raising $180k to repair a damaged torii gate (per ).

Grave & Unforgivable Acts

Unfortunately, a benevolent act by overseas fans has been⛎ overshadowed by a recent incident which has prompted Watazumi Shrine officials to ban all tourists from visiting the shrine. This decision was made due to "a grave and unforgivable act of disrespect committed by f♚oreigners," according to made by the shrine's social media accounts.

Watazumi Shrine had already banned Korean visitors from visiting due to repea♐ted problematic b༒ehaviour. Given the bulk of visitors to the shrine had been Korean, this was likely more of a quantity issue. However, all tourists have now been banned from the shrine following an unspecified troubling incident that occurred a few days ago.

The notice bans both domestic and international visitors (who aren't there to worship) but directs particular ire towards foreign visit﷽ors, saying "Inbound tourism's destruction of places, things, and people cherished by the Japanese is nothing 🦋less than the destruction of Japanese culture."

This news is particularly topical given the conversation around Japanese shrines and sacred places in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Before Shadows was released, a video of a player smashing furniture inside a shrine surfaced online, prompting shrine officials to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:publicly disapprove of their shrine's inclusion in the game. A day-one patch for Assassin's Creed Shadows 168澳洲🤪幸运5开奖网:removed the ability to destroy shrines. You're also gently discouraged from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:climbing torii gates in-game.

Despite the various controversies and delays, Assassin's Creed Shadows appears to be a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:massive success for Ubisoft, selling more physical copies in three days than Star Wars Outlaws managed in three months. Ubisoft has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:thanked fans for their "love and positivity" following the positive reception of𒊎 Assassin's Creed Shadows.

As for Ghost of Yotei, there hasn't been any more official news about the game since Sucker Punch announced it would release sometime in ♓2025.
