Hayasuhime Shrine is symbolized by the holy sword sunk to the bottom of the "Hayasui no seto" strait.
This holy sword was stabilizing the tidal current at the bottom of the " Hayasui no seto " strait.
The holy sword was guarded by giant octopus.
In B.C., two divers named Isago and Masago received a sword from a giant octopus and built the Hayasuhime Shrine to worship the holy sword.
Today, Hayasuhime Shrine is loved by the local people as a shrine for the safety of the "Hayasui no seto" strait.
octopus, which guarded the holy sword, is also revered by the local people.
For this reason, it is also known to people as a rare shrine that worships Octopus.

At this shrine, there is a ritual called "Tako Tachi Kigan".
In this ceremony, people dedicate a picture of octopus to a shrine, and if they make a wish without eating octopus for a certain period of time, their wish will be fulfilled.
This is a very rare ritual in all of Japan.

"Ryugu Castle" and "Urashima Taro" decorate the roof of the hall of worship.
Both are related to the sea.
