Choko Jinja

I visited Choko Jinja, enshrined in the port town of Choshi. This shrine has long been the guardian deity of Choshi Port, and has been deeply worshipped by people praying for safe navigation and prosperity of fisheries. It embodies the hopes of people who give thanks for the blessings of the sea and pray for safe voyages. The shrine grounds are located near the port, allowing for quiet worship while feeling the sea breeze. For those who pray for maritime safety, it is surely an important place to visit. It is a shrine that has walked alongside the history of the port town of Choshi.
