Kabushima Shrine
#japantrip The shrine provides umbrellas to visitors for good reason and you better use them before you walk around under the flying seagulls! The birds are everywhere and sometimes they are startled and start rising up together and fly rapidly in circles making a lot of noise before settling down again. It is fascinating to watch.
There are other interesting things to see in this area, such as the rugged rocks and sea views. A short distance from the Shrine is The Marient Hachinohe City Fisheries Science Museum which is also worth a visit.

Kabushima Shrine in Hachinohe is a hidden gem along the beautiful coast of Aomori Prefecture! 🌊 The shrine sits atop a small island connected to the mainland by a picturesque red bridge. Entrance is free, allowing you to explore without worrying about fees. As I crossed the bridge, I was greeted by the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. The shrine itself is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of water, attracting many visitors seeking blessings for safe travels and prosperity. Nearby, the Kabushima Seabird Colony offers a unique opportunity to witness thousands of black-tailed gulls nesting on the cliffs during breeding season, creating a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of the ocean. Don't miss the chance to visit this tranquil shrine and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Hachinohe! #KabushimaShrine #Hachinohe #CoastalBeauty 🌺🌊🕊️

This weekend was just what we needed to relax and just have fun! It is super close to Misawa and with the Tanasashi Beach and the Hachinohe Marine Center nearby... It makes a great day trip.
