文化的背景
Tsushima Shrine is connected to the legend of the 'Makura no Sato', a mythical mountain in Japan said to be the dwelling place of the god Tsukuyomi. The shrine's architecture and design are inspired by this mythological concept, reflecting its importance as a Shinto sacred site.
歴史
The shrine was rebuilt in 1605 after being destroyed by a fire, during the Edo period.
