History
Watching over Nemuro's harbor, this shrine commands the deep faith of ancient seafarers. Those who sail treacherous waters came to pray for safety and abundant catches. Even now at the far northern port, the hearts of fishermen turn toward this shrine, where gratitude for the ocean's bounty gathers.
