Izu Peninsula’s oldest shrine, with a history stretching back 2,400 years.
The precincts are home to a sacred tree about 2,000 years old, and behind them Shirahama Beach opens onto a striking vermilion torii rising at the water’s edge.
The vivid blue sea and the torii create a dramatic view that makes Shirahama one of the area’s most beloved spots.
