𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃

A shrine also known as Dosojinja.

It is a sub-shrine of Itsukushima Shrine, and Sarutahiko is the deity worshipped.

Behind the shrine is a Yin Yang stone, which is considered to be the object of worship.

On the day of the annual festival, you can worship the Yin Yang stone.

Going through the stone torii gate, there is a worship hall closed with lattices. Looking inside, there were many votive votive plaques.

It is not as flashy as Itsukushima Shrine, but it is a shrine with a solemn atmosphere.
