About this Shrine

Trueyura-daijingu Shrine, dedicated to the sea god Otohime and the patron deity of fishermen, is a tranquil seaside sanctuary located on the coast of Hyogo Prefecture. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal setting, with a main hall designed to resemble a cedar tree, symbolizing protection from the sea. Visitors can walk along the beach or take a ferry to nearby landmasses for further exploration.
