History

Byakko

Located in the legendary home of the Urashima tale, this ancient shrine has long served as the spiritual guardian of Ine's maritime community. Fishermen and seafarers have sought its blessings for safe voyages and abundant catches, finding solace in its connection to the mythical traditions of Japan's coastal heritage and the eternal protection of those who work upon the sea.
