Kotohira Jinja Shrine
From the JR Niigata Station take the Niigata Tourist Loop Bus to the Ishizue-cho stop and then walk for 10-minutes. The shrine is located near the entrance to the Konpira-Dori Shopping District. The enshrined deities are Omononushi-no-Okami and Funadama-no-Okami who were moved here from Kotohira Shrine in Kagawa. The 28 model ships dedicated to the shrine for safe voyage by the operators of the Kitamaebune shipping line which ran from the Edo period to the Meiji period have been designated a Japanese Tangible Folk Cultural Property. Advance contact is required for access to the storage facility where they are stored.
