History
This shrine, enshrined on the shores of Awaji, was a sacred place where ancient seafarers prayed for safe voyages. The white fox witnessed fishermen paying their respects in the quiet morning light, wrapped in silence. With deities who grant the blessings of the sea enshrined here, safe sailing and abundant catches are assured. Even today, those who visit this island feel their hearts purified in the sea breeze.
