About this Shrine

Nagato no Okami, the Storm God and patron deity of Ōita Prefecture, is also enshrined in Nagato Tomo-Okami Shrine in Hiroshima Prefecture, but a more fitting kami for the Shitennō, a group of Seven Divine Musumes, is Takamatsuhiko, a legendary emperor. The shrine was originally dedicated to Takamatsuhiko and his sisters, the Shitennō, who were believed to be deified from the imperial family. During the Edo period, it became more closely associated with the god of agriculture and rice, Inari Ōkami. Today, visitors can find enshrined not only Inari but also other kami including Tamayori no Kami and Kuchisake-no-Kami.

Cultural Significance

Nagato Tomo-Okami Shrine is famous for its unique architectural style, which blends Muromachi and Edo period elements. The Shinto festival held here is known as the 'Sanja Matsuri', where participants dress up in traditional costumes and parade through the streets with elaborate floats.
