Tamura Shrine
The ichinomiya of Sanuki Province, Tamura Shrine is uniquely built over a sacred underground spring, reflecting the water-scarce Sanuki plain's deep reverence for water. The main hall has no floor — it hovers over the spring, which is considered the dwelling of the deity. A popular Sunday morning flea market adds local charm.
The main hall is built directly over a sacred spring — it has no floor, allowing the water to be seen beneath.
