Wakayama Wakayama-shi Wakauranaka 3-4-26

"This Shinto shrine is dedicated to Shiotsuchi-no-Oji, a god of safe childbirth and conception worshipped since ancient times because he helped Yamasachihiko and Toyotamahime to get married and they in turn had a safe childbirth. In Wakayama in the Edo period, people often said ""First is Kishu Toshogu, second is Tamatsushima Island, third is Sagarimatsu, fourth is Shiogama."" The shrine gets its name from the term for the pot used to boil salt in salt fields. The shrine is located in Wakanoura, whose scenic beauty has been well-known since the distant age of the ""Man'yoshu"" poetry anthology, and a monument engraved with a famous poem about the area by Yamabe no Akahito stands on a small hill near the shrine."

名勝和歌の浦に玉津島神社と並んであります。シオヅチノオジと聞きなれない神様を祀っておりますが、この神様は各地に製塩を広めたと伝わっており、シオガマという神社の名前にもつながっています。岩の窪みに小さな社がありこじんまりとしていますが、海への昔からの感謝の念を感じさせる神社でした。

Wakayama Wakayama-shi Minato 20

This day-use hot spring bathhouse is a 10-minute bus ride from Wakayamashi Station. Operating from early in the morning at 6:00 a.m. until late in the evening at 1:00 a.m., many people use it more like a neighborhood bathhouse. The bathhouse makes use of the waters of a salt-rich chloride spring which wells forth from rock on the grounds known as Sanbagawa crystalline schist. Rich in hot spring minerals, these waters prevent post-bath chills and also beautify the skin, giving it a smooth, silky quality. In addition to a large indoor bath and outdoor bath, the rock bath, lined with amethyst and other semiprecious stones, has a detoxifying effect and is also recommended for beautifying purposes. At this facility, customers can spend an entire fun-filled day enjoying the vaunted natural hot spring waters, rock bath, and other features.
