About this Shrine

Shrines at the mouth of rivers are said to have been the original shrines built in the Yayoi period, and the Nissa-ryu style was also used here. Nissa-ryu is characterized by a square base, an eaveless roof, and a distinctive large main hall that seems to float on top of the shrine grounds. This unique architecture reflects the connection between nature and the divine.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is dedicated to Tsukiyomi-no-kami, the god of the moon. Its unique architecture reflects its location by the sea, where fishermen would often pray for safe passage during full moons.
