Okitsunomiya Yohaijo on Oshima is a constituent asset of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, Munakata and Okinoshima Island, and related heritage groups. From the building, you can see "Kamijukuru Island" Okinoshima beyond the sea, and plays a role as a worship hall that worships Okinoshima as a sacred body. In addition, since Okinoshima is prohibited from women, women have long prayed from this place of worship to Okitsunomiya. It is a valuable spot that symbolizes the way of faith in Okinoshima.
