Kaijin Shrine (海神神社) is a significant Shinto shrine in Tsushima Island, Nagasaki that holds a Beppyo status. This status denotes that the shrine is remarkable and holds a significant historical importance.[1] Kaijin Shrine is also ranked as an Ichinomiya, which means it is the highest-ranked shrine in its province.
Kaijin Shrine should not be confused with Watatsumi Shrine, which has a very similar Japanese name (海神社) to Kaijin Shrine (海神神社).
In 2012 a robber stole a Buddha statue from the shrine, but in 2015 it was returned.[2]
