Yurahime Shrine

Japan, 922 Urago, Nishinoshima-cho, Oki-gun, Shimane Prefecture 684-0211

It is unknown when Yurahime Shrine was founded, but its history dates back to 842 and is said to have once been the highest ranking shrine on the Oki Islands. The shallow bay near the precincts is called "Ika Yose no Hama", which literally translates to "a bay where squid gather". The reason why there are so many squid in the precincts is because of the legend associated with this name. Besides squid, Yurahime Shrine is also popular as a cherry blossom viewing spot in April. *Goshuin of Yurahime Shrine can only be obtained from the Nishinoshima Tourism Association.
