About this Shrine

Riverine River God Shrine, located in the picturesque town of Kosuge, Niigata Prefecture, is dedicated to the river god of the Shinano River. The shrine's name, Kawa no kami no Miyajima, reflects its connection to the waterway. This tranquil oasis has been a source of spiritual comfort for locals and travelers alike for centuries.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its spring festival, Ogimura Matsuri, which takes place in late April. Locals offer food offerings to the kami at a special altar near the river, and participants enjoy traditional games and folk performances.
