Udo Jingū is a picturesque Shinto shrine located in Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. It is uniquely positioned inside a cave overlooking the ocean, which adds to its mystical and serene ambiance. The shrine is dedicated to Yamasachihiko, the father of Emperor Jimmu, Japan's legendary first emperor. Visitors often come to pray for safe childbirth, marital harmony, and good fortune. One of the shrine's notable features is the "luck stones" (undama), which visitors throw towards a target on a rock out at sea to bring good luck.
