[Shimane] A remote worship site for Ebisu's fishing spot

It is located on the promenade of Mihonoseki Lighthouse. The name is said to refer to the island floating in the sea 4km from the center of this torii gate, called "Okino-Gozen," and the island below, called "Jino-Gozen." It is said to be the fishing island of Kotoshironushi-no-kami (the deity worshipped at Miho Shrine, commonly known as Ebisu-sama). It is an exclave of Miho Shrine. If it were sunny, you would be able to see Okino-Gozen beyond the torii gate, but unfortunately it was cloudy. It was a mysterious place of remote worship.
