About this Shrine

Kamui Byakkodai Shrine, located in Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto god of agriculture and fertility. The shrine is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and is a popular destination during the autumn leaves season. However, our focus today is on 熊野神社 (Nikko's Kappabiki Shrine) in Chiba Prefecture, known as one of Japan's most scenic shrines. Surrounded by lush greenery and the picturesque Namie River, this 17th-century shrine is revered for its natural beauty. The name 'Kappabiki' roughly translates to 'rice- ears' in English.
