Glossary of Shinto

Sumiyoshi Shrine is a Shinto shrine located on Iki Island in Japan.[1][2][3] It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it.[4]

It is a Myojon Taisha in the Engishiki[5]

It is a branch shrine of Sumiyoshi-taisha.[6]

Strangely for a sea god shrine, it is located in the center of the Island. The shrine has a myth that it is located in the center because the gods were disturbed by the sound of the waves.[6]
