The sculpture of the shrine's dragon and the beach of white sand and blue pine are impressive

#aprilblooms A shrine standing in the Buddhist gahara facing the Seto Inland Sea. It is characterised by the fact that the building stands facing the sea because it is an important place as one of the gateways to the sea of Yuge Island. The sculpture of the dragon in the main hall is also worth seeing, and there are large round stones in the precincts that are said to be symbols of men. It is also said that this shrine enshrines Dokyo, a high priest who was active in the world of politics in the 8th century. Since Dokyo was from the Yuge clan in Osaka, it is also called "Yuge Dokyo", and there is a theory that it is the origin of the place name of Yugejima.
