SANCTUAIRE AOSHIMA-JINJA
On the small island of Aoshima stands this beautiful shrine, dedicated to Hoori-no-mikoto (Yamasachihiko), Toyotama-hime (Yamasachihiko's wife) and Shiotsuchi-no-kami (the couple's matchmaker). What strikes the visitor is the contrast between the architecture of the shrine, the palm trees, the blue of the sea and the sand. One is rarely used to discovering shrines in this paradisiacal setting. Once a year, the Yomiuri Giants, a professional baseball team, come here to pray. You can then walk around the island (15-20 minutes).
