Ōyamazumi Shrine

Ōyamazumi Shrine is a large Shintō shrine complex on Ōmishima Island in the middle of the Seto Inland Sea. It’s been a centre of worship for soldiers and sailors from across Japan from ancient times. Befitting its status as a maritime shrine, the approach actually starts beside the sea in Miyaura port. From the main gate stretches a long sandy plaza lined with ancient camphor trees. A particularly large and aged tree stands in front of the main compound The deepest part of the shrine is an attractive colonnaded area with a large worship hall. You can go out through a side door and around the back to admire the red gables and cypress roof of the shrine proper. To the right of the shrine is the Treasure House containing a remarkable collection of armour and weapons.
