About this Shrine

Higashi-Oshima Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on the island of Higashi-Oshima in Chiba Prefecture. Dedicated to the kami of the sea, the shrine plays an important role in the local community's maritime traditions and is famous for its beautiful coastal location. The shrine's architecture reflects the region's Edo period history, with traditional Japanese buildings and a large torii gate.

Cultural Significance

As a sea-facing shrine, Higashi-Oshima Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of the god of the sea, Ryujin. During the annual Shōnin-matsuri festival, which takes place in July, locals celebrate the arrival of summer with traditional dances and offerings to the kami.
