History

Byakko

On the shore of Takahama in Shika stands a shrine connecting sea and land. Obama's name reflects the humble aspirations of an ancient fishing village by a small beach. The deity enshrined here watches over human endeavor at the water's edge, ceaselessly praying for the fishermen's safe return. Visitors feel the salt breeze awaken them to nature's vastness and their own smallness.
