History
As the Dragon King's shrine commanding the sea at Katsurahama, this deity has long safeguarded the hearts of countless sailors. I have long watched from this coastline those saved from peril and blessed with the sea's abundance. Whether waves run high or waters lie calm, people gather here with unified devotion. The dragon's power and the sea's maternal compassion are concentrated in this sacred sanctuary.
