Tsushima Jinja

Tsushima Jinja in Mitoyo is a rare shrine situated on a small island called Tsushima floating in the Seto Inland Sea. Ordinarily surrounded by sea, a bridge is constructed only during the summer festival season once a year, allowing visitors to cross and pay their respects. Long revered as a guardian deity for children, the shrine continues to receive visits from parents wishing for their children's healthy growth. The special sense of being able to visit only once a year and the mystical atmosphere where the entire island becomes sacred ground captivate many hearts. A visit to this holy site enveloped by the beautiful Seto Inland Sea will surely become an unforgettable experience.
