History
Enshrined in Shirako, this shrine has long been cherished as the guardian deity of the region. Befitting the beautiful place name of Shirako, it is filled with a pure and sacred atmosphere. Located near Kujukuri Beach, it has gathered the deep faith of those engaged in fishing and maritime trade, who give thanks for the bounty of the sea. In this sacred domain overlooking the beautiful white sand and blue pine coastline, one can offer prayers in peaceful contemplation—a truly wonderful shrine.
