About this Shrine

Tsukimiya Shrine in Tokushima Prefecture is dedicated to the deified spirit of the sea, Tsukiyomi-no-kami. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location with a unique torii gate design and a large stone statue of a horse's head at the entrance. Visitors can experience the tranquil atmosphere of the shrine by taking a boat ride along the coast or participating in traditional festivals like the Moon Viewing Festival, which honors Tsukiyomi-no-kami as the god of the moon.

Cultural Significance

Tsukiyomi-no-kami is also associated with the legend of Urashima Taro, a fisherman who rescued a turtle and was rewarded with a visit to the underwater palace of the dragon king. During the Moon Viewing Festival, shrine visitors can pray for good fortune and prosperity.
