About this Shrine

The Futarasan Shrine, located in Tokyo's Adachi Ward, is dedicated to the Shinto deity Futsunohime and the eight million kami of Mount Futarasan. The shrine was rebuilt after being destroyed during the Boshin War in 1871, a rare instance of a shrine being relocated due to modernization efforts. The complex now serves as a symbol of Tokyo's rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

In Tokyo's Adachi Ward, Futarasan Shrine is a rare example of a Shinto shrine located outside its prefectural boundary. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a vermilion torii gate and tiled roof. During the annual autumn festival (Koyo), visitors can enjoy traditional food stalls and local performances.
