History
At Mikuni Shrine perched by Sakai's coast, the name speaks of three lands united. Since ancient times, fishermen have prayed for the sea's bounty, and countless sailors crossed the waves under its protection. The Northern Sea I have witnessed—through both tempestuous and calm seasons—remains forever illuminated by this shrine's grace.
