"Shinmei Shrine", which stands in a quiet forest at the back of the approach, is the god of Osatsu and enshrines Amaterasu Okami.
Next to the shrine, there is an old camphor tree withered, which is revered as a sacred tree that "protects longevity."
The inside is a cave, and it is said that Genji's soldiers who lost the battle put themselves in this cave of Kusunoki.
The branch of Shinmei Shrine is a stone shrine that fulfills one of the wishes of women, commonly known as "Ishigami-san".
Tamayori-hime, who is enshrined here, whose father was the great sea God, the guardian deity of the sea, and was also the mother of Emperor Jimmu.
It is said that there are many benefits related to women such as marriage and easy delivery, and it is said that women have been visiting for a long time in this area, especially female divers.
The amulet has a unique grid and stars. This is what Osatsu's female divers drew on the rocky shore as a spell to protect themselves from sea monsters and disasters. The lattice called "doman" is a pattern that scares monsters with many eyes. The star mark is called "Seyman", and since the star always returns with a single stroke, it was a wish that they would be able to come back, even if they dive into the ocean.
