History

Byakko

Sakurai Jinja is an ancient shrine situated near the beautiful coastline of the Itoshima Peninsula. This area has long held strong faith in sea deities and has been a spiritual support for those engaged in fishing and maritime commerce. Particularly during the cherry blossom season, the shrine grounds are beautifully adorned, and many worshippers visit. Surrounded by the rich natural beauty of Itoshima, this shrine has a history of watching over the lives of local people and continues to be deeply cherished by residents today. It is a wonderfully atmospheric shrine where one can simultaneously experience the blessings of the sea and the beauty of cherry blossoms.
