Pray at a shrine on a high bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean

About this spot

An ancient shrine situated on a high bluff facing the Pacific Ocean. The grounds are shaded by trees including camellias, with a verdant path throughout the seasons. Due to its proximity to the sea, it has been deeply revered by fishing communities and cherished by the local region for generations. The view of the sea from the shrine grounds is expansive, and you can spend time feeling the sea breeze while offering prayers.
