Mizuwakasu Shrine, Shinto shrine in Okinoshima, Japan.
Located in the Goka area of Dogo Island, Mizuwakasu Shrine features a main hall constructed in 1795 with a distinctive thatched roof and traditional architecture.
The shrine, documented in ancient texts like Shoku Nihongi, received recognition as a Myojin Taisha in 927 and maintains its position as the highest-ranked shrine of Oki Province.
The shrine organizes a major festival on May 3rd during even years, featuring horseback archery, Shinto dances, and processions with floats pulled by local families.
Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a bus from Saigo port, traveling approximately 13 kilometers north through the island to access this cultural property.
The building combines three architectural styles: Yuiitsu Shinmei-zukuri at the front, Taisha-zukuri for the roof, and Kasuga-zukuri for the pent roof.
