It is officially said that Empress Jingu had the flag eighth school on the way back from the conquest of Silla at Ichinomiya in Tsushima, which is officially called Watatsumi and street name Daijin, and it seems that Hachiman no Kami was the main deity until the Meiji era.

I drove around 8 am on Sunday morning. If you wind along the road by the sea, you will reach the front of the torii gate. The parking lot is also large. There is no shrine and it is unmanned. Pass through the torii gate and climb the long stairs to the main shrine. It's hard to take a break on the way. The deity is Princess Toyotama. There is only Ichinomiya, so there is a very magnificent hall of worship, and there are several Setsusha. It is unknown how many ceremonys Chigi in the main shrine are. One of the sessha was the Izumo ceremony, but I don't know if I see the deity. Studying ...
