A shinto shrine on the outskirts of mountainous Sasayama city, the modern gardener Mirei SHIGEMORI produced a dry landscape garden with rocks, pebbles and mortar which symbolizes the sea waves because Sumiyoshi shrine is a worship place for sea deities.
Only open to public on the festival day (the last Sunday in July) and other occasional events.
