Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit the worship hall and entrance torii at Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine in Okinoshima Town. These are two stops within one shrine, not sites across the Oki Islands. Arrange transport from the port separately.

This guide covers places within Okinoshima, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Worship hall of Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine01

A first-visit stop

Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine Worship Hall

玉若酢命神社の拝殿

The image shows the worship hall, not the main sanctuary. The shrine is in Shimonishi, Okinoshima Town. Respect worshippers, stay in public areas and check interior access and ceremonies separately.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Entrance torii at Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine02

A first-visit stop

Tamawakasu-mikoto Shrine Entrance

玉若酢命神社の入口

The photograph shows the entrance torii of the same shrine, close to the worship hall. This older image does not guarantee current path conditions. Follow access notices and keep the worship route clear.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Sazae-meshi, rice prepared with turban shell, is part of Oki’s regional food culture rather than exclusive to Okinoshima Town. Check shellfish ingredients, seasonings and current availability with the restaurant.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
