Tsushima Shrine (津島神社, Tsushima Jinja) is a Shinto shrine in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is the head shrine of a nationwide shrine network of shrines dedicated to the Tsushima Cult (津島信仰, Tsushima Shinkō), Centered primarily in the Tōkai region, this network has approximately 3,000 shrines and is the tenth-largest network in the country. The main kami of this faith are Gozu Tennō (牛頭天王, lit. ox-headed heaven king), the god of pestilences, and Susanoo, two deities that have been conflated together. For this reason, like other shrines of the network it is also called Tsushima Gozutennō-sha (津島牛頭天王社, lit. Tsushima Gozutennō Shrine). See Gion faith for more info.
