History

Byakko

Usami Jinja is enshrined in the beautiful Usami area facing Sagami Bay. Since ancient times, it has been held in deep reverence by fishermen and residents of the region as the guardian deity, with prayers offered for the bounty of the sea and safety at sea. Ito City's Usami, known as a hot spring destination, is a historic land where people have made their lives since ancient times. As the tutelary deity of the region, the shrine continues to watch over the health and happiness of all visitors, offering prayers not only for abundant catches and safe passage at sea, but also in gratitude for the blessings of hot springs.
