Shrakami-sha Shrine

Shrakami-sha Shrine

In the old days when the sea-level covered this location, a fire-lit white paper was plased on the reef safety maaker.
The words "paper" and "god" are both pronounsed "Kami" in Japanese. Afterward, a small shrine call "Shirakami" was built on the reef. "Shirakami," meaning "White God," was woshipped by the people as the head shrine of the tutelary deity in Hiroshima from the late 16th to 17 century.
