📍Address: Shikanoshima Shrine 🗓️Itinerary: We have arrived at the Kaijin Shrine on Shiga Island. After getting off the boat, walk directly along the main road of shops to the end, which takes about 10 minutes. It is super convenient to just stroll all the way down. It is also a very good choice for those who don’t want to ride! You don’t need a ticket either. Don’t miss it if you go to Shiga Island. It’s really close. Promise me you will go! If you have any questions, please leave a message and I will reply as soon as I am free! Hope this helps you! 💞Recommended reasons: The main shrine of the god who rules the sea, known as the guardian of the sea, is widely believed to be there. On January 2nd every year, the ancient sacrificial activity "Bushe Sacrifice" begins. In recent years, a "foot archery" event has been held every Sunday around January 15th, with eight archers shooting bows at a large target set up on the approach to the shrine. The shrine houses the Kakaku-do Hall, which houses 10,000 deer antlers, and the Manyo Poetry Monument. 💰Average consumption: 0 yuan (no fee) #Fukuoka #Shiga Island Roundabout #Shiga Island Roundabout #Fukuoka Shiga Island Sea Shrine #Fukuoka Shiga Island Sea Shrine #Japan Shiga Island #Japan #Shiga Island #Shika Island Specialties #FukuokaItinerary

Shikaumi Shrine is dedicated to the gods of the sea: Sokotsu Watatsumi no Kami, Nakatsu Watatsumi no Kami, and Uwatsu Watatsumi no Kami. This shrine is the birthplace of the powerful clan Awanushi, who ruled over the sea people in ancient times. As mentioned in the Manyo poems within the shrine, it has been worshipped as a guardian deity of the sea since ancient times. The shrine houses national cultural treasures such as the Korean-made gilded bell and the prefectural cultural asset, the thin bronze sword mold. There is also a stone pagoda within the grounds. This serene shrine naturally calms one's mind and brings peace. Address: 877 Shikanoshima, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City
