History
Shiratori Jinja is an ancient shrine watching over the sea of Naruto. As its name suggests, legends concerning the pure and beautiful white bird remain in tradition. From its location near the sea, it has long been cherished as a place where fishermen and sailors pray for safe voyages. This shrine, enshrined in Buyo, is beloved by many people as the guardian deity of the region. Within the grounds embraced by sea breezes, one can offer prayers with a refreshed spirit. If you make your wishes with a heart as pure as a white bird, surely good things will come to pass.
