菅島神社

この神社は、菅島港から歩いてすぐのところにあります。入り口近くに積み上げられたアワビの貝殻は、しろんご祭で長年にわたって供物が捧げられたことを表しています。敷地内の見どころには、ウミガメの形をした亀石や、生まれたばかりの赤ちゃんの両親が子どもの健康を祈って薄い真綿で包む神聖な石、「真綿の神さん(the god of gauze)」などがあります。


Sugashima Jinja Shrine

This Shinto shrine is a short walk from Sugashima’s port. The abalone shells piled near the entrance represent many years of offerings from the Shirongo Matsuri festival. Other sights within the grounds include the kame-ishi, a boulder in the shape of a sea turtle, and Mawata-no-kamisan (“the god of gauze”), a sacred stone that new parents wrap with gauze to express their wish for the health of their babies.
