About this Shrine

厳島神社 is a Shinto shrine located in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, dedicated to the god of storms and fertility, Susanoo-no-Mikoto's brother, Amaterasu's twin son Kamuyama no Kami and also Susanoo's grandson Ōkuninushi. The shrine is famous for its connection to the Japanese mythological hero Susanoo and the creation of islands.

Cultural Significance

Susanoo is a significant figure in Japanese mythology and the shrine is one of the few Shinto shrines that specifically enshrines him as the primary deity. The shrine also has a strong connection to the creation myth of Japan's islands, where Susanoo is said to have created the islands by striking his club on the back of the sea goddess Amaterasu.
