About this Shrine

Located in the coastal city of Itako, Ibaraki Prefecture's Nagi City is home to the Eight-Fold God Shrine, dedicated to a powerful Shinto kami.

The complex features an impressive main hall and several smaller shrines, including a branch dedicated to the god of fortune, Fukutomi no Kami.
