The Tangodou Shrine in Shizuoka Prefecture is dedicated to the Shinto god of agriculture and fertility, known as Tanegashima Okami. Located near the coast, the shrine is believed to have been established during the Edo period due to its proximity to the sea. The shrine's architecture reflects this maritime connection, with a distinctive curved roofline reminiscent of a ship's hull.
