About this Shrine

Itsukushima Shrine in Yamaguchi Prefecture is one of several shrines in Japan dedicated to the same deities as the famous Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima. Like its more renowned counterpart, this shrine venerates the three goddess daughters of the sea god and is associated with maritime protection and safe travel.

Cultural Significance
