Sumiyoshi Shrine (Iki City)

Sumiyoshi Shrine (Iki City) is a Shinto shrine located on Iki Island in Japan.

[3] In 927 it was listed as a Myojin Taisha in the Engishiki.

[6][7][8] It is one of the oldest Sumiyoshi shrines alongside Sumiyoshi jinja in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka city, Fukuoka prefecture, and Moto Sumiyoshi Shrine in Kobe, Hyōgo prefecture.

[9] Strangely for a sea god shrine, it is located in the center of the Island.

The shrine has a myth that it is located in the center because the gods were disturbed by the sound of the waves.
