History
An ancient shrine dwelling at the harbor facing the Harima Sea, Minato Jinja has long received the devoted faith of fishermen. Known as a bestower of the sea's bounty, it stands amid the salt-tinged breezes where prayers for maritime safety and abundant harvests have never ceased. Countless seafarers continue their sacred devotions.
