Nunakuma Shrine
Legend has it that Watarimori Shrine, now known as Numana Shrine, was established in the second year of Emperor Chuai's reign. Empress Jingu headed to western Japan and enshrined Watatsumi-no-mikoto on a local sacred stone, praying for safe sea routes. On her way back, she reportedly said to Watatsumi no Mikoto, "Takatomo Izuno." The name "Tomo" is said to have originated from the fact that "tomo" was one of the tools used for bows.
