Tsukiyomi Shrine

Tsukiyomi Shrine

This shrine is the largest on Sakurajima and has a long history. It was built around 708 to 715.

It is a popular sacred place that attracts people.
It is located near Sakurajima port, and the access is easy.
It is one of the few shrines where Tsukuyomi-no Mikoto, the younger brother deity of Amaterasu, is enshrined.
Some say the name of "Sakurajima" is from a one of the goddesses of Japanese myth “Konohana-sakuya-hime”, and this goddess is also worshiped at this shrine.
This shrine was buried during the Taisho eruption, and it was moved to its former place in 1930.
The view from the viewing platform is great.
