Awashima Shrine

When Empress Jingu returned from Sanhan, she encountered a storm in the Seto Inland Sea. When the ship is about to sink, he prays to God. Then God will tell you. ``Throw the floos that cover the sails of your ship into the sea, and row your ship along with the current.'' Following God's command, the Empress throws Toma into the sea and sails along the current. Then you will arrive at an island. This island is Tomogashima. On the island, Sukuhikona no Mikoto and Omi Taka no Mikoto are enshrined, and the Empress offers her treasures as an offering in gratitude for their help. Afterwards, the Empress's grandson, Emperor Nintoku, was hunted on Tomogashima. You will hear how the Empress was caught in a storm on the island. Therefore, thinking that the island would be inconvenient, he moved the shrine to Kada on the opposite shore and built a shrine. This is said to be the origin of Kada Awashima Shrine.
