  • 和歌三神の一つ

    住吉大社、柿本神社と並び和歌三神の神社の一つで、聖武天皇の和歌山行幸の際の記録に記載がある程古い社とのことです。和歌浦の景色を目の前に山部赤人等昔の歌人が歌を詠んだのがわかるようなロケーションでした。

    和歌浦の入り口に立つ神社 創建は不詳。和歌の神様を祀る神社です。和歌浦を詠んだ和歌によれば、周囲の景観がかなり変わっていることがわかります。境内の奥には展望台に登る遊歩道があります、展望台からは周囲の眺望が開けて眺めが良いです。
  • 和歌の浦観光の中心地です

    ご祭神は、稚日女尊、息長足姫尊、衣通姫尊の式外の国史見在社とのことです。和歌の浦観光の中心地で、奠供山、鏡山はここから登ります。無料の駐車場があります。
