Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine, Shinto shrine in Okinoshima, Japan
The Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine stands with its thatched roof building constructed in the Oki-zukuri architectural style on the main Oki island of Shimane Prefecture.
The shrine contains the eki-rei station bells from 646, which served as identity proof for traveling officials under the Japanese ritsuryō administrative system.
During the annual Gorei Furyu festival on June 5th, eight horses representing different deities perform a ceremonial gallop through the shrine gates.
Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a 30-minute walk from Saigo Port Ferry Terminal, with infrequent bus services available as an alternative.
The shrine grounds feature a 30-meter-tall Japanese Cedar Tree named Yao-sugi, estimated to be 2000 years old and recognized as a Natural National Treasure.
