Tsushima Shrine
津島市神明町１
Located in Tsushima City, Aichi Prefecture, this shrine is known alongside Yasaka Shrine as one of the two major centers of worship for Sunitama Tenno (the Heavenly King of Ox Head). It serves as the head shrine for approximately 3,000 Tsushima Shrines and Tenno Shrines across Japan and is the focal point of Tsushima faith.

History
According to tradition, the shrine was founded in 540 CE (Kintoku 1), although the exact date of establishment is unknown, with its first appearance in documents dating to the 12th century. During the early modern period, it received protection from the Oda clan, the Toyotomi clan, and the Owari Domain, and was managed by a shrine family organization. During the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism, the enshrined deity was designated as Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto (often associated with Susanoo-no-Mikoto in this context), and the name 'Sunitama Tenno' was removed from the shrine's title, resulting in its current name.
