About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Saitama, Water Heaven Shrine is a serene oasis that honors the kami of water and prosperity. Built during the Heian period, the shrine's architecture reflects the traditional Japanese style with its tiled roofs and vermilion accents. The shrine is dedicated to a multitude of kami, including Tsukiyomi and Susanoo, deities revered for their control over the oceans and waters.

Cultural Significance

The Water Heaven Shrine is famous for its association with the legendary Tale of Urashima Taro, where the hero visits the underwater palace of Ryujin, the dragon king. During the spring festival, locals perform traditional dances to invoke the blessings of the water kami.
