Onizuka Jinga (Shrine)
Located in Sasebo, Nagasaki. The original shrine location was in a small mountain, but it was moved to its current location next to the Masaru station on the Matsuura Tetsudo Line. The original shrine location is also a short walk from there, but only the tori gate remains...the trail that leads into the mountain is overgrown and not maintained. Check out my blog post about my visit to the shrine.
Onizuka Kodakara Kan-non
Located in Fukutsu, Fukuoka. Kodakara means "the treasure that is children." Kan-non is the Buddhist deity of compassion.
