Okama Shrine
塩竈市本町６−１
A shrine that houses the hearths said to be the origin of the place name Shiogama. It holds a special status as the location where the unique ritual 'Moshiyaki Shinsai (Algae and Salt Burning Ritual)' of Shiogama Jingu (Shiogama Grand Shrine) is performed.
History
The founding date is unknown, and it currently serves as an external subsidiary shrine of Shiogama Jingu. Within the shrine grounds, four hearths (divine hearths) are enshrined, which are said to be the hearths used when the deity Shiteno-Uzume-no-Mikoto (Salt-Making Old Man Deity) taught the method of salt production in ancient times. These hearths are considered the origin of the place name 'Shiogama' (Salt Hearth). Legend states that there were once seven hearths, but three were stolen by bandits.

What visitors say
This is a subsidiary shrine of Shiogama Jingu and the site that gave rise to the local place name. The grounds are small, but four iron divine hearths are enshrined. The hut containing the hearths is locked, and visitors can view them by paying a fee at the shrine office. There is no parking lot nearby, so visitors need to walk from the parking lot of Shiogama Jingu.
