More info

This Nara shrine is dedicated to Ōkuninushi-no-Mikoto, the ancient kami of nation-building, agriculture, and medicine who is revered as the "Great Land Master" in Shinto mythology. According to legend, Ōkuninushi governed the earthly realm before transferring power to the imperial ancestors, making him a powerful deity for those seeking assistance with land matters, healing, and prosperity. Visitors often come to pray for success in business ventures, bountiful harvests, and recovery from illness, drawn by the kami's reputation as a benevolent ruler who brought order and abundance to the land.
