History

Byakko

Tamahime Jinja is an ancient shrine enshrined in Tamano that enshines a goddess. True to its beautiful name "Tamahime," it has long been venerated as a guardian deity of women. Facing the Seto Inland Sea in Tamano, this shrine is cherished as a place blessed by the bounty of the sea and the divine compassion of the goddess. The goddess blesses many pilgrims with her gentle divine virtues in matters of concern to women—family peace, beauty, and matchmaking. Even in modern times, it continues to be beloved primarily by women, serving as a trusted shrine at various milestones in life.
