About this Shrine

Jiandō Shrine, located in Kintsu City, Chiba Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of longevity and good health. The shrine's name, Jiandō, roughly translates to 'Hall of Long Life' in English. According to local legend, the shrine was founded by a pious patron who built the original hall to ensure the well-being of their family. Over time, the shrine has been rebuilt and expanded several times, with the current main hall dating back to the Meiji period.

Cultural Significance

Jiandō Shrine is closely associated with the worship of Yamat-no-okami, the Shinto god of longevity and fertility. During the annual 'Setsubun' festival in February, shrine devotees throw soybeans over their shoulders to ward off evil spirits and ensure good health for the coming year.
