It’s a shrine for Tamawakasu, which is involved in developing Oki.
As the head shrine of Okinokuni, it's the oldest shrine in Oki.
The main shrine’s architectural style, called Okizukuri, is an important cultural property.
The large cedar tree on the grounds, Yaosugi, which is 38-meter tall, is about 2,000 years old.
It's designated as a national natural monument.
It may be inconvenient for wheelchair users because there are bumps and gravel paths, but it's a magnificent shrine worth to be seen.
