History

Byakko

Obamakami Jinja is a shrine situated on Mount Otoko in Obama, an ancient port town of Wakasa. From ancient times, the land of Obama had active exchanges with the continent and maintained deep connections with the imperial court, making it an important place. As the name Mount Otoko suggests, this place has been regarded as sacred since ancient times, gathering the faith of local people. It has continued to watch over Obama as it flourished as a port town, serving the role of connecting the gifts of the sea with the abundance of the land.
