Akama-jingu Shrine

A shrine to memorialize Emperor Antoku, who drowned during the battle of Dan-noura during the Genpei War. In reenactments of the Joro Dochu (courtesan march), a designated cultural asset of Shimonoseki, courtesans wearing glamorous costumes walk along the streets in the soto-hachimonji style. This historical rite can be enjoyed as an opening attraction at banquets at Shunpanro Restaurant, a historical site adjacent to the shrine, or at various convention venues throughout the city.
