About this Shrine

Ena Jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the town of Ena, Ishikawa Prefecture. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), making it a significant cultural and historical landmark in the region. The shrine is dedicated to the kami Enma, the god of hell, who is believed to watch over the souls of the deceased. Visitors can explore the shrine's traditional architecture, including the main hall and the torii gate, which are adorned with beautiful gardens and trees.

Cultural Significance

In Japanese mythology, Enma is believed to be one of the twelve judges of the underworld. The shrine's festivals, such as the Ena Shrine Festival (October), celebrate the harvest season and the patronage of the kami.
