Traveler reviews
The entrance is at the parking. You will see the red gate and as you enter there is only one path to the shrine which takes like 7 min to walk.
The shrine is in the cave behind the house.
As you walk to the shrine you ho along the coast.
Weren't so many people around.
Shrine gods here are blessing you with good fishing, maritime and travel safety if you pay respect.

The GPS may send you too far. You'll know you arrived when you see the large red torii gate. The walk is only a few minutes and is paved. There is a decent amount of parking.
Absolutely worth a visit. The view of the shrine is stunning and

A unique shrine inside a cave. Need to walk 10 minutes to reach.

One of the best shrines we’ve been to. Beautiful views of the ocean, the shrine itself is tucked away in the interior of the cave. Some steep steps to get down there from the parking lot but highly recommend

Tucked away inside the cave with ocean views - simply beautiful.
I don't know the purpose of the small building in the front which rather spoils the place, I thought.
