About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Kagoshima City, Sagasaki-ku, Saga Prefecture, Ebisu Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of prosperity, good fortune, and wealth, Ebisu. The shrine's primary deity, Ebisu, is often depicted as a bearded man carrying a fishing rod and holding a large fish in his right hand. According to legend, Ebisu was instrumental in helping the samurai lord Minamoto no Yoritomo defeat the Taira clan during the Genpei War. Today, visitors can still see the remains of the old fortress walls surrounding the shrine grounds.

Cultural Significance

Ebisu Shrine is one of the few Shinto shrines in Japan that has been designated as a 'kami shrine,' which means it has been specifically dedicated to a particular kami. The shrine is also known for its beautiful gardens and traditional Japanese architecture, including the iconic torii gate.
