Udo Cape

Udo Cape projects into the Hyūga Sea on the coast of southern Kyūshū. Within a cave facing the waves stands Udo Jingū, a shrine revered by warriors and by the people of the surrounding country. The lords of Obi protected the sanctuary during the Edo period, and in 1711 Itō Sukezane rebuilt its main hall. Its setting joins sacred tradition to the cliffs and reefs of the Pacific shore.
