Yaotomi Shrine, located on Takeshima in Mikawa Bay in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, is one of the seven Benten shrines in Japan. Ichikishima Hime no Mikoto is enshrined in the main shrine, and is said to bring good luck, safe childbirth, and marriage.

Yaotomi Shrine is located in the center of the island and can be reached by crossing a 387m bridge. The main shrine was rebuilt in the Edo period, and the contrast between the vermilion torii gate and the bright green trees is beautiful.

Yaotomi Shrine is also popular as a power spot and is visited by many worshipers.

Takeshima is a small island floating in Mikawa Bay, but it is designated as a national natural monument and has a rich natural environment.
