About this Shrine

A branch shrine of the famous Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima, dedicated to the three sister goddesses of the sea. These deities are revered for protection of sailors, safe travel across water, and feminine virtues including beauty and artistic accomplishment.

Cultural Significance

The three sister goddesses enshrined here are daughters of the sea god Watatsumi and are closely associated with the Munakata region's maritime traditions, though this particular shrine brings that devotion inland to Nara.
