About this place

A shrine at Ryujinzaki in the north of Ashibe Port, Iki, Nagasaki Prefecture. It is said that in 1895 (Meiji 28) the dragon-snake deity was brought from Izumo Shrine and enshrined here. Standing in a place overlooking the sea, it also draws attention as a power spot. At the neighboring Ryuja Beach, a scene of thin, scale-like stones piled up spreads out. Goshuin stamps are available at nearby Iki Shrine.
