About this Shrine

Located in the city of Maibara, Mikami Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to Mikami-no-kami, the god of rice and fertility. Founded during the Edo period, the shrine has played an important role in local agriculture and festivals, particularly the Shishimai festival held annually to celebrate the goddess's bounty.

Cultural Significance

Mikami Shrine is connected to the legend of Matsudaira Tadahisa, a noble who prayed for his son's safe return and received a vision from Mikami-no-kami. As a result, the shrine has become a symbol of family devotion and loyalty.
