Susa Shrine, located in Susa, Sadacho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, enshrines the spirit of Susanoo-no-mikoto. Its history is ancient, dating back to the Izumo no Kuni Fudoki. The grounds feature a giant cedar tree over 1300 years old, radiating an immense power. The tidal well connected to the Sea of Japan is said to be where Susanoo-no-mikoto himself drew salt to purify the land. At high tide, "shiobana" (salt flowers) appear on the ground near the well, creating a sacred atmosphere.
Susa Shrine offers a tranquil space surrounded by abundant nature, providing visitors with both mental and physical rejuvenation. After your visit, take some time to stroll through the grounds. The surrounding area boasts other spots steeped in nature and history, well worth exploring.
Famous as a power spot, many visit Susa Shrine to offer prayers. Susanoo-no-mikoto is believed to bestow blessings for warding off evil, good fortune, success in competitions, and protection from misfortune. Blessings for marital harmony and childbirth are also sought, making it a popular destination for couples.
Susa Shrine is a peaceful sanctuary where history and nature harmonize. We highly recommend a visit.
