This shrine has drawn the faith from the imperial court and poets since
long time ago as the deity of waka poetry. The three main deities enshrined
here are Wakahirume-no-mikoto, Empress Jingu, and Sato-orihime. Also one of the three Waka Poetry gods, Tamatsushima-myojin is worshiped here. You can command a beautiful view of Wakanoura from Tengu-yama and Kagami-yama both accessible from Tamatsushima-jinja’s grounds.
