Ushijima Shrine Ushijima Shrine where Ushi-oni is enshrined Incarnation of Susano-no-mikoto
<p>Ushijima Shrine, a Shinto shrine founded by the Buddhist monk Jikaku Daishi Ennin</p>
<p>Since it has been in existence for more than 1,000 years, old remains are casually placed here and there.<br />
At first, I visited the shrine mistaking it for a Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine because of the word “Ushijima” in the name,<br />
However, the atmosphere was completely different.</p>
<p>There is a mysterious legend in “Azuma-kan” (Azuma’s Book of History) from the Kamakura period.</p>
