〒443-0031 愛知県蒲郡市竹島町３−１５
Also known as Chikishima Benten, this shrine is considered one of the Seven Benten shrines in Japan. It is enshrined on Chikishima Island in Mikawa Bay, with the entire island serving as the sacred precinct.
History
According to tradition, the shrine was founded in 1181 CE (Yōwa 1) when Fujiwara Shunsei, the provincial governor of Mikawa Province, invited the deity from Chikyu Island. In 1725, Uka Shrine was relocated within the precincts. In 1932, the owner of a textile wholesale company donated funds to build the Chikishima Bridge, making access for worship easier.
