History
Founded during the Muromachi period as the castle's guardian shrine (Chinju) named 'Nagahama-gu,' it was merged with Gion-gu in the late Edo period to become 'Gion Shrine.' It was renamed 'Susanoo Shrine' during the Meiji era, but reverted to 'Gion Shrine' in 1888 (Meiji 21). In 1910 (Meiji 43), Yatsuba Shrine was merged into it.

What visitors say
Located on a high plateau, the shrine grounds offer breathtaking views of the Seto Ohashi Bridge and the sea. A distinctive feature is the rare arrangement of two main halls (Honden) standing side by side. The grounds are open and well-ventilated. Worship requires climbing steep stone steps without a ramp, but a parking lot and shrine office are available, and Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are also distributed.
