About this Shrine

Located in the prefecture of Ibaraki, Sanbashi Shrine is dedicated to the sea and the god of the sea, Ryujin. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location with a simple yet elegant design featuring a large torii gate and a tranquil garden. Visitors can walk along the shoreline and enjoy the scenic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Cultural Significance

Sanbashi Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of Ryujin, the sea dragon who is said to reside in the waters off Ibaraki. During the annual Sea Dragon Festival (, kaijin matsuri) held in July, locals honor Ryujin by releasing lanterns onto the ocean.
