I visited "Toyotamahime Shrine", the guardian deity of Ogijima. The view of the Seto Inland Sea from here was superb. The slope down from Toyotamahime Shrine to Ogishima Port enjoyed the best view of the quiet Seto Inland Sea. Toyotamahime Shrine is also located in Kagoshima and Saga in Kyushu. In the Seto Inland Sea, it is located on Toshima and this Ogishima. Toyotamahime is a god of easy delivery, so it is enshrined in various parts of Japan.

the cherry blossoms are beautiful.

Located on the mountainside, you can see the torii gate from the harbor. There are some cherry trees, and in early April, you can see the collaboration between the distant sea and the cherry blossoms, which is beautiful.

There is a torii gate in front of the port.

　If you look toward the island from the ferry terminal, you will find a torii gate. The approach continues from the torii gate to the shrine, so if you climb straight, you won't get lost. In fact, I climbed properly, so I took a detour. At first, the name of the shrine was Yutaka, so I was surprised that it was a shrine that enshrined "Toyo" that leads to "Himiko". Also, I didn't expect it to remind me of the legend of Yukihiko Umikoyama and the story of the fishing needle. ...

Nice view.

It is the god of easy delivery. I've been out of season, but since it's high on the island, I had to climb the stairs and there were no tourists at all. But looking back from the stone steps, I was glad to have a panoramic view of the island village.

Cat ＆ Outlook Spot

Original Text

It is a small shrine located at the end of the slopes and stairs following the torii gate from the ferry terminal. Just walk along this route, you can get to the stone walls unique to Ogijima, mural art of the Setouchi Art Festival, local cats, and the scenery from the top. Rather than the precincts of the shrine, the cat spot is hanging around in front of the steep long stone steps leading to the precincts, and you can often see cats climbing and descending the stone steps.
