Visit a shrine connected to Japan's creation mythology and pray for safe travels

About this spot

This shrine is dedicated to the legend of Izanagi and Izanami, the divine couple said to be the first to set foot on the island of Onokoro. A large vermillion gate stands prominently in the shrine grounds, making it an iconic landmark of Minami-Awaji City. Surrounded by trees and peaceful, even on hot summer mornings, this quiet shrine is perfect for families to begin their day with a prayer for safety. Visiting before your beach outing adds a special touch to your Minami-Awaji City adventure.
