Originally named Hachiman Shrine, it has the place name "Itsukuhara" to distinguish it from other shrines. On her way back from the conquest of the Three Kingdoms, Empress Jingu visited Shimizuyama in Tsushima and is said to have worshipped the gods of heaven and earth by placing a sacred mirror and offerings on the mountain's summit, as this mountain is said to be a mountain in which divine spirits reside. In 655, Emperor Tenmu ordered the construction of a shrine at the foot of Shimizuyama. It is said that the shrine was originally dedicated to the god Hachiman. One of the highlights is the shrine surrounded by stone walls unique to this area. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Itsukuhara Hachiman Shrine ꕥAddress: 645-1 Nakamura, Izuhara-cho, Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture ꕥAccess: Izuhara Port New Domestic Terminal Building → approx. 19 minutes on foot ꕥVisiting hours: Free entry to the grounds ꕥSeal: Available ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Tsushima #Tsushima sightseeing #Shrine #Shrine visit #Shrines and temples #Shrine tour
