About this Shrine

Located in the scenic town of Yasa, Tottori Prefecture, the Saikodate Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of longevity and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its age, with a mix of traditional and modern elements. As one of the few shrines in Japan that still maintains its original 17th-century wooden torii gate, it offers a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

The Saikodate Shrine is closely associated with the local legend of the 'Yasa no Hachiman,' a version of the famous war god Hachiman that is unique to this region. Visitors can explore the shrine's grounds, which include several historic buildings and beautiful gardens.
