More info

This shrine on Kikai Island is dedicated to Ukemochi-no-Kami, the Shinto deity of food and sustenance who governs agricultural abundance and nourishment. Located in the remote Amami island chain of Kagoshima Prefecture, it serves as a spiritual center where local farmers and fishing communities pray for bountiful harvests from both land and sea. Visitors come to seek blessings for food security, successful crops, and gratitude for the island's natural provisions in this traditionally agricultural and maritime community.
