Hitaka Jinja is a Shinto shrine located in the scenic town of Matsue, Prefecture of Shimane, but it appears to be incorrectly listed under Iwate. This shrine is dedicated to the kami of the ocean and fishermen. The shrine's architecture reflects the coastal location of its primary enshrined deity, Hachiman, with a wooden torii gate that seems out of place among the traditional Japanese buildings in the area. In terms of historical significance, Hitaka Jinja was built during the Edo period.
