About this Shrine

Netsu-ta-jinja Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan. The shrine is dedicated to the god of fishing and nets, Netsu-no-kami, and is also known as 'Net's God' or 'God of Fishing Net'. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location, with wooden buildings and a stone torii gate. Visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese crafts such as net-weaving and fish-trapping demonstrations.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and is often visited during the annual 'Setsubun' festival, where visitors throw beans to ward off evil spirits. Netsu-ta-jinja Shrine is also known for its unique 'fish-shaped' torii gate, which is a rare example of such architecture in Japan.
