Kaijin Shrineja:海神神社 (海神神社) is a significant Shinto shrine located in Tsushima Island, Nagasaki that holds a Beppyo status. This status denotes that the shrine is remarkable and holds a significant historical importance. Kaijin Shrine is also ranked as an Ichinomiya, which means it is the highest-ranked shrine in its province.
Kaijin Shrine should not be confused with Watatsumi Shrine, which has a very similar Japanese name (海神社) to Kaijin Shrine (海神神社).
In 2012 a robber stole a Silla era Buddha statue from the shrine[1], on the same day they stole another statue from Kannon-ji[2][3] but in 2015 it was returned.[1][4]
