Hiwasa Hachiman Shrine (Minami Town, Tokushima Prefecture)

Located very close to Ohama Beach, known as a nesting ground for sea turtles, this shrine is believed to bring blessings for maritime safety, abundant catches, and business prosperity. It also offers benefits for safe childbirth, conception, and household safety. It's situated next to the Hiwasa Sea Turtle Museum. We highly recommend visiting the museum too! Because of its proximity to the sea turtle nesting grounds, you can obtain a unique Goshuin (temple seal) featuring a sea turtle design here.
