The charm of history and tradition that dwells in the ancient temple

A historic shrine that has revived from the earthquake

Shitsuki Hachimangu Shrine is a historic shrine located in the western part of Awaji Island. It collapsed in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995, except for part of the main hall, but was rebuilt in February 2009 by the shrine's parishioners and devotees. The shrine has a long history, and traditional events rooted in the local community are also preserved.

Elegant worship rituals that adapt to the local community

When visiting the shrine, first cleanse your hands at the chozuya, then ring the bell to offer greetings. While walking along the approach to the shrine, prepare your heart and follow the worship rituals. Inside the shrine's precincts, there are guide boards that show the proper way to perform the rituals, so even first-time visitors can worship with peace of mind.

Adding color to the community through spring festivals

Every April, the spring festival is held. Local danjiri gather at the shrine, creating a festival atmosphere. Through traditional festivals, the bonds of the community deepen, and the shrine adds color to people's lives.
