About this place
Tomisaki Shrine is a shrine in Hamakatsuura, Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture (Isumi District, Kazusa Province). Its former shrine rank was gosha (village shrine). It enshrines Ame no Tomi no Mikoto, who opened up the Boso Peninsula. Ame no Tomi no Mikoto, who served as a close aide to Emperor Jimmu, after finishing the development of Awa sought better land in the eastern provinces, led the Awa Imbe clan and others on the Kuroshio current, and landed at Mera Beach at the southern tip of the Boso Peninsula. There he built a shrine enshrining the ancestral god Ame no Futodama no Mikoto and advanced the development of Awa, and is said to have died there afterward.
