[Kanagawa Prefecture/Okutsumiya] A shrine watched over by the god's messenger turtle

Enoshima Shrine enshrines three sisters.
In Okutsumiya, the eldest of the three sisters, Tagirihime-no-mikoto, is enshrined!
Once you pass through the torii gate that is said to have been donated by Minamoto no Yoritomo, the shrine building is right in front of you.
In keeping with the legend of the dragon god, a large rice scoop features the figures of a dragon god and goddess✨
On the ceiling is a turtle that looks in all directions.
The unique feature is that no matter which direction you look, you will meet the turtle's gaze!
