Aoumi Jinja

Aoumi Jinja is a guardian shrine of the sea, situated in the port town of Itoigawa facing the Japan Sea. Thriving from the blessings of the blue sea, this shrine has long gathered the devoted faith of those engaged in fishing and maritime commerce. From its grounds enveloped by sea breezes, one can behold the magnificent Japan Sea, and to this day the prayers of people seeking safe passage and abundant catches never cease. It is truly a sacred place connecting the sea and humanity.
