About this Shrine

Located in Arisanomachi, Okura, in the heart of Naoshima Island, Kuriyamahime-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Sea Goddess of the Island of Okura. The shrine complex includes a large torii gate and several smaller shrines. In the Edo period, the shrine was known for its beautiful garden and impressive stone lanterns. Today, visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is said to be the ancestral home of the Shimizu clan, who were known for their seafaring skills. According to local legend, a great storm destroyed the original shrine, but was miraculously rebuilt by the goddess Kuriyama. The shrine's name refers to this story and its connection to the sea.
