About this Shrine

This Shinto shrine, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, is dedicated to the kami Tamayuzuhime no Okami, a deity associated with the sea and fertility.

Visitors can see the shrine's beautiful garden and enjoy a tranquil atmosphere. In recent years, the shrine has seen an increase in tourism, particularly from China and Korea.
