History
Hachiman Shrine on Himakajima island watches over the bond between islanders and the sea. Fishermen visit to pray for safety on their voyages. The power of Hachiman extends over the waters, protecting countless boats and fishers. In this place where island and sea become one, we forever watch over all people.
