A spectacular vermilion shrine inside a cave overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
One of the most scenic shrines in Japan, located in a large natural cave on a cliff facing the ocean. Dedicated to the father of Emperor Jimmu.
神社歷史緣起
According to legend, this cave is where Toyotama-hime (daughter of the Sea God) gave birth to the father of Emperor Jimmu. She left her child here because she was ashamed of her true form (a shark/dragon) being seen during childbirth.
The 'Ochichi-iwa' (Breast Rocks) inside the cave are said to be breasts she left behind to feed her baby, and they still drip water today.

境內看點
The contrast between the red shrine gate, the blue ocean, and the rugged cliffs is breathtaking. Inside the cave, visitors can buy 'Undama' (lucky balls) and try to throw them into a target hole on a turtle-shaped rock in the sea below.
Men throw with their left hand, women with their right. If it goes in, your wish comes true.
重大祭典
The 'Chanshan Festival' involves a parade of horses, celebrating the local tradition of horse breeding.
