About this Shrine

Ebisu Shrine, located in the city of Kasama in Ibaraki Prefecture, is one of Japan's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines dedicated to Ebisu, the god of prosperity, fishery, and good fortune. As the main deity of this shrine, Ebisu is believed to protect fishermen and merchants from harm and bring success to their endeavors. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance, with a traditional Japanese-style torii gate and a large vermillion-hued Haiden (main hall) that dates back to the Edo period. Visitors can participate in various festivals throughout the year, including the Kasama Matsuri, which celebrates the shrine's founding and Ebisu's role as a patron of local fishermen.

Cultural Significance

As Ebisu is the god of fishery, visitors can make an offering at the shrine's stone lanterns with a small token or coin to ensure good luck and prosperity. The shrine also hosts an annual Kasama Matsuri festival in July, which features traditional dances, food stalls, and games.
