History
The Tsuku Jinja that I visited has long been worshipped as a deity of the sea. It is said to bring benefits for maritime safety, abundant catches, and business prosperity, and is deeply revered by fishermen and sailors. The precincts, carrying the scent of the sea, are filled with a solemn atmosphere. It has a history of protecting the sea of this region and supporting people's lives since ancient times. It is an indispensable presence for those who are grateful for the blessings of the sea and pray for safety. It is a place where one can feel the powerful energy of the sea.
