Locations with Onizuka in the name

Below is a list of landmarks and locations that have Onizuka in the name. As of November, 2023 all the links were working and were safe to my limited knowledge, but please use at your discretion and exercise caution.

Onizuka Eki (Train Station)

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.
