Mishima Shrine & Shinko-bashi Covered Bridge

三嶋神社・神幸橋

Kochi · Shikoku

A shrine founded in 919, said to enshrine a deity invited from Izu's Mishima Taisha, reached via the roofed wooden Shinko-bashi bridge over the Yusuhara River; hosts the Tsunoyama Kagura dance each October.

Why we picked it

A quietly important local shrine that most Yusuhara day-trippers skip in favor of the Kengo Kuma buildings.
