This Shinto shrine honors Amenotomi-no-Mikoto, a deity who legend says came to the Boso Peninsula from Shikoku introducing technology and culture. The shrine's Katsuura Big Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) runs from late February to early March when about 1,800 Hina dolls adorn the 60 stone steps leading to the precincts. Stop by at night to see the spectacle illuminated.
