History

Byakko

This shrine rests at the northernmost point of Rebun Island. In ancient times, fishermen navigating treacherous waters established a shrine dedicated to maritime deities for protection. The shrine has long been venerated by island communities seeking bountiful catches and safe voyages, with annual festivals still celebrating these blessings.
