History

Byakko

Perched at the edge of Nishinoshima, this shrine stands as a beacon for maritime safety. The flame of Takuhi's protection has guided countless sailors through treacherous waters. Even in the fiercest storms, the shrine's spiritual light—like the fire that gives it its name—continues to guide lost souls toward safe harbor.
