About this Shrine

Located in the city of Minamiashihara, Shizuoka Prefecture was once the former village of Mitachi, from which it derives its name. The shrine is one of the few remaining Shinto shrines in the region and plays a significant role in the local community's cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

Mitachi Shrine is associated with the local god of agriculture, kami, of rice and fertility. The shrine celebrates the annual 'Tenno no Hi' Festival, which honors the Emperor, as well as 'Matsuri', an autumnal festival to ensure a bountiful harvest.
