Hashihime Shrine is dedicated to guardian angel of bridges Seoritsu-Hime and the god of navigation Sumiyoshi Myohin. There is a historic site within the shrine's garden which is mentioned in "The Tales of Genji". The current Hashihime Shrine building was built after the original was destroyed in a flood in 1870.
