Enshrined close to the beautiful white sand beach of Tsutsukihama on the eastern coast of Iki City, "Hakusa Hachiman Shrine" was reportedly established in the early Heian period. Protected by the dense, nature-rich "Chinju-no-Mori" (sacred grove), stepping into the precinct wraps you in a unique atmosphere where the dynamic elemental energy of the sea and holy serenity fuse comfortably. Having gently watched over the history of overcoming national crises during the Mongol Invasions and travelers praying for maritime safety since antiquity, this ancient shrine grants visitors deep peace and spiritual tranquility. Listening to the sound of waves from afar while strolling through beautiful sunbeams filtering through trees is an excellent experience to wash away daily clutter and recall deep gratitude for nature.
