Nariaiji Temple (成相寺) is a temple of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. The temple was originally located near the top of Mount Tsuzumigatake overlooking Miyazu Bay in the north, but was moved about 250 years ago to its current location further down the mountain after a landslide. The current temple grounds are still high enough on the slope that there are good viewpoints from where you can look out over the Amanohashidate Sandbar below.

船に乗ろうとする場所で、土砂を少しとって紙に包み、それを臍にあてて乗れば船酔いをしない。冬ならば足袋の裏に敷いておくのもよい。特に神社の土で行えば効果が著しいという。これは海が不浄を嫌うからだという。
