About this Shrine

Kawasumi-no-Kami Shrine, dedicated to the god of the sea and storms, is a Shinto shrine located in Hokkaido's scenic coastline town of Rishiri. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location, with a wooden torii gate situated at the edge of the ocean. A notable feature is the presence of multiple kami, including the main deity Kawasumi-no-Kami, as well as the wind god Fūjin and the sea goddess Ōkami. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding islands while strolling along the shrine's coastline path.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is connected to the mythology of the sea god Kawasumi-no-Kami, who is believed to have created the islands off Hokkaido's coast. The wind god Fūjin is also enshrined here, reflecting the area's harsh northerly winds.
