About this Shrine

Ebisu Shrine, located in the historic city of Nagasaki, is dedicated to the Shinto deity of prosperity and good fortune, Ebisu. This sacred site has been an important cultural and spiritual hub for locals since its founding in the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine's architecture reflects a mix of traditional Japanese styles, with a distinctive vermilion torii gate and elegant wooden buildings. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and stunning views of Nagasaki Bay.

Ebisu is often invoked for good luck, prosperity, and protection from illness. The shrine also celebrates the annual Ebisu Matsuri festival in April, featuring traditional performances, food stalls, and games.
