Just beyond the shrine is the "Tsu Koryu-gu Shrine Spout," a natural spectacle where seawater spurts out of cracks in the rocks on stormy days. This is most likely to occur when north to northeasterly winds blow and waves are 2.5 meters or higher, increasing the chance of encountering rough seas in winter.
Beyond the torii gates is a rugged, rocky coastline, and standing on the rocks can be quite thrilling, even with the strong winds.
The stunning views make this a recommended date spot as well as a power spot.
[Trivia]
- The offering box is located at the top of the large torii gate. It's said that if you enter it, your wish will come true. If you fail, you can simply place your offering in the offering box on the right.
[Hidden Gem]
The surrounding area is a scenic drive along the sea cliffs of Kitanagato Coast Quasi-National Park, and is dotted with other famous spots, such as Senjojiki, the fishing lights of the Higashi Ushirohata Rice Terraces, and Omijima.
