A shrine enveloped in a mystical atmosphere deep in the forests of Oki-no-shima Town. Its most significant feature is the landscape integrated with century-old giant trees rising behind the main hall. Walking along the approach, you can feel the energy of nature from moss-covered rocks and trees, realizing that this is a place where Japan's myriad gods dwell. Unlike touristy famous shrines, its silence and sacredness are ideal for travelers seeking a meditative time. It is one of the best power spots in Oki to experience Japan's original form of faith.
