Gion Shrine

Set in Shimotsui, where the Seto Inland Sea breeze carries the scent of salt, this shrine has long blessed the community. Under the mighty protection of Susanoo, it has become a sacred place of plague prevention and misfortune dispelling. Fishermen and merchants have gathered here for generations, especially during the summer festivals. The mingling of sacred tradition with maritime culture creates a unique spiritual atmosphere that moves even this old fox guardian.
