Takuhi Shrine

Located in Mita, Nishinoshima Town, Oki County, Shimane Prefecture, the Takuhi Shrine is situated on the slopes of Mt. Takuhi, the highest mountain in the vicinity of Okinoshima Island. The Takuhi Shrine has since ancient times attracted large numbers of worshippers, as it was believed that the deity enshrined there could ensure the safety of mariners at sea. The Shrine buildings that visitors see today are the result of renovation work in the Kyoho period (1716-1736); the Takuhi Shrine has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The area around the Takuhi Shrine has lush vegetation, including both temperate and subtropical plant species, and has been designated as a Prefectural Special Natural Monument.
