The stage for the "White Rabbit of Inaba" legend appearing in Japan's oldest history book, "Kojiki." White sandy beaches and emerald green seas spread out, and you can see "Okinoshima Island," where the rabbit is said to have crossed over, offshore. A mystical atmosphere as if the world of mythology remains drifts through, with spots related to the legend scattered around. Especially in summer, it's crowded with swimmers, and in winter, the landscape changes to one that lets you feel the power of the rough Sea of Japan. A popular spot for travelers who enjoy Japanese mythology or seaside drives.

An ancient shrine related to legends where the "Mitarashi Pond," where the rabbit injured in the "White Rabbit of Inaba" myth is said to have washed its body, remains in the grounds.

Cute rabbit stone statues line the grounds, and the habit of praying by offering special "musubi-ishi" (binding stones) is also popular. By visiting with the adjacent Hakuto Coast, you can enjoy both the world of Japanese mythology and beautiful sea...
