A shrine floating in the sea connected by a drum bridge

This shrine floating in the sea has long been known as Myojin-sama and Ryugu-sama in this region as a deity that protects seafarers and sailors. In addition, the Taiko Bridge leading to the shrine is a beautiful stone railing that is said to have been built over the mansion of the lord of Mori Ono. The nearby port of Hirao, Mizuba, is also mentioned in Kunikida Doppo's "Boy's Sorrow". It seems that trade with Korea and China has been active since long ago, and the name of Baekje at that time remains as a place name like this.
