Shimonoseki exploration

Cultural heritage

Many cultural heritage sites, including the two national treasures of the Kozanji Temple Buddhist Sanctum and the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shrine Main Hall, chart a history and remind us of events from the past to the present day in Shimonoseki City. We must preserve and revere our heritage so as to pass down the history for future generations.
