About this Shrine

Tsushina Shrine, located in Nagasaki Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sea goddess Tsutsui-no-Mikoto. According to legend, the shrine was founded by a local samurai who prayed to Tsutsui-no-Mikoto for protection and prosperity after his ship sank at sea. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location, with wooden buildings and tiled roofs typical of Nagasaki's architectural style during the Edo period. Visitors can experience the shrine's tranquil atmosphere while taking in stunning views of the nearby sea.

Cultural Significance

Tsutsui-no-Mikoto is revered as a protector of sailors and fishermen. The shrine is also known for its annual Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival (Hanami), which honors the sea goddess's presence in the local waters.
