Hinomisaki Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Izumo, Shimane a few miles away from Izumo-taisha[1] dedicated to Amaterasu and Susanoo-no-Mikoto.[2] It is a branch shrine of Izumo Taisha, and has a document identifying Susanoo with Matarajin.[3]: 171
Amago Tsunehisa backed the shrine to undermine the influence of Izumo-taisha.[1][4]
Its island has a notable lighthouse which is the tallest one in Asia.[3]: 406
Priests of the Shrine were instrumental in spreading the idea that Izumo Province was the gate to the underworld, and a source of power as a result where all things originated.[3]: 166–167 [4]
Its origin story mentions sea snakes guiding the gods to Izumo.[3]: 173 Sea snakes are considered the messengers of Izumo Taisha.[5]
