About this Shrine

The Ōjinja, or Great Earth Shrine, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the earth and fertility in Ishikawa Prefecture. Founded in 1594, it has played an important role in the local community's agricultural cycles. Visitors can explore the shrine's historic buildings and grounds, including the main hall and the shrine's sacred forest.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the local rice-planting festival, 'Ōji no Matsuri', which takes place in late September. During this celebration, locals honor the earth kami and pray for a bountiful harvest. Additionally, the shrine's sacred forest is said to be inhabited by the 'Ōjigami', a powerful earth spirit believed to bring fertility to the surrounding land.
