Awashima Shrine

Shinto shrines

淡島神社

Awashima Shrine is known for prayers for safe birth, conception, recovery from illness, good relationships, and household safety. Official pages relate that the shrine was invited from Awashima Shrine in Kada, Kii, during the reign of Emperor Rokujo (1165–1168) and has long been treated as a local general shrine whose blessings reach beyond the city. Annual rites and guidance for prayer visits are posted on the shrine site. Confirm reception details before arranging a visit.
