About This Destination

One of Japan's most significant Shinto shrines on Omishima Island along the Shimanami Kaido, housing approximately 80% of the nation's designated National Treasure armor and weapons.

Oyamazumi Shrine on Omishima Island is one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, dedicated to Oyamatsumi, the deity of mountains, sea, and war. For centuries, warriors offered their finest armor and weapons here before and after battle. The result: about 80% of all nationally designated National Treasure armor and weapons in Japan are in this shrine's collection. The treasure hall displays them, spanning Heian through Edo periods. On the grounds stands a 2,600-year-old camphor tree, designated a Natural Monument. The shrine sits on the Shimanami Kaido cycling route between Hiroshima and Shikoku—easy stop for cyclists hopping between islands.
