History
Yashima Jinja is a shrine enshrined at the summit of Yashima, which juts out into the Seto Inland Sea. As a shrine standing on the historic battlefield of the Genpei War, it is revered as a deity of martial valor and victory. From the temple grounds, which command a sweeping view of the majestic Yashima landscape, spreads the beautiful Seto Inland Sea that ancient warriors surely gazed upon. As a deity who bestows the strength to face challenges and adversity, it draws the faith of many people.
