Sumiyoshi Shrine (Iki City) is a Shinto shrine located on Iki Island in Japan. It is a Beppyo shrine, or a shrine that is particularly notable in a certain way with a significant history to it.
In 927 it was listed as a Myojin Taisha in the Engishiki.
It is a branch shrine of Sumiyoshi-taisha. A shrine located in Osaka.
It is one of the oldest Sumiyoshi shrines alongside Sumiyoshi jinja in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka city, Fukuoka prefecture, and Moto Sumiyoshi Shrine in Kobe, Hyōgo prefecture. However, it is not known which one of these is the oldest.
Strangely for a sea god shrine, it is located in the center of the Island. The shrine has a myth that it is located in the center because the gods were disturbed by the sound of the waves.
