Toyotamahime Shrine is a highly unique, heart-warming ancient shrine nestled quietly in the center of Ureshino Onsen, known for its faith in beautiful skin and healing. Within the precinct, "Namazu-sama" (the catfish god), the messenger of Toyotamahime, who is the daughter of the sea god and owner of beautiful skin, is enshrined as a beautiful white porcelain statue, and it has long been believed that gently pouring water over this catfish god and praying grants beautiful skin and cleanses mind-body evil. The precinct, where the calm emotions of the hot spring town and sacred air harmonize comfortably, gently heals travel fatigue just by strolling. Along with Ureshino's famous waters, touch Japan's rustic, gentle faith culture to enjoy a special moment to become beautiful in both mind and body.
