Miyama Shrine, Shinto shrine in Hatsukaichi, Japan.

Miyama Shrine exhibits the nagare-zukuri architectural design with flowing rooflines and extends across multiple wooden structures near the coast.

The shrine, established by Taira no Kiyomori during the Heian period, represents a significant period of religious development in the Aki Province.

The shrine maintains traditional Shinto purification ceremonies and religious practices that connect present-day visitors with centuries of Japanese spiritual traditions.

Visitors can reach the shrine through regular ferry services from mainland Hatsukaichi, with optimal viewing experiences during morning hours.

The shrine functions as both a setsumatsusha and okumiya, incorporating two distinct categories of auxiliary buildings within Japanese shrine architecture.
