History
A shrine rooted in the fishing village of Kiritapu. On misty mornings, I stand forever before this sanctuary. Each time I hear the sincere prayers of fishermen, my heart is moved. The faith of people blessed by the Pacific is the true treasure of this shrine. The fishing lights continue to seek its blessings.
