Shima Province Claimant (ronsha)

Izawa Jinja

伊射波神社

Izawa Jinja is one of the shrines claimed as the ichinomiya — the leading shrine — of the former Shima Province, in present-day Mie. It has a car park; the sources we checked give neither its size nor a fee. Opening hours end at 16:00 (charm counter). Without a car, a local tourism body gives 1 route from a station (by bus); the station names are listed below. The nearest other ichinomiya is Izawanomiya, 11 km to the south-west in a straight line.

Parking

It has a car park; the sources we checked give neither its size nor a fee.

History in brief

History
Until the early Shōwa era, worshippers came by boat and approached from the sea; the first torii still stands facing the sea.

Summarised from a local tourism body (伊射波神社（特集）｜伊勢志摩観光ナビ, checked 2026-10-08). Traditions are given as the shrine tells them, not as established history.

Straight-line distances between the shrines, not road distances. Across mountains or water, the drive is much longer.
