Numazuma Shrine in Tomonoura, Fukuyama, is dedicated to Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Owatatsumi-no-Mikoto. Founded over 1900 years ago, this shrine hosts the Ofetakangi fire festival in July and the Omato archery ritual in February, both designated as intangible folk cultural properties of Fukuyama City. Located a 30-minute bus ride from JR Fukuyama Station, the shrine offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere. Don't miss the chance to see the Noh stage, which once belonged to Hideyoshi Toyotomi at Fushimi Castle. Visit during the day to fully appreciate the architecture and scenic surroundings.
