〒891-2313 鹿児島県鹿屋市天神町４０１４
This shrine enshrines Sugawara no Michizane as its main deity and is situated on a rock formation that juts out into the sea like an island. It is also a scenic spot offering views of Mount Kaiun and Sakurajima. Parking is available.
What visitors say
Located along the coast, visitors pass through a torii gate on the sandy beach before encountering steep stone steps. Although handrails and ropes are provided, comfortable clothing suitable for movement is recommended due to the steep incline. The area is surrounded by nature, creating a quiet and mysterious atmosphere. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and omamori (protective amulets) can be obtained at a location approximately 500 meters on foot from the shrine.
