| Shiogama Jinja is a large Shinto shrine complex at the center of Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture, in the Tohoku region of northern Japan. Believed to be over 1200 years old, it is historically one of the most important shrines of the region and the protector of fishermen and safe childbirth. | |
| The shrine contains a wealth of history and fifteen of its buildings, which were built during the Edo Period, have been declared important cultural treasures. The main approach to the shrine is via a flight of over 200 steep, stone steps that lead to the vermillion gates and buildings at the top of the hill. | |
