About this Shrine

千次神社, located in Okayama Prefecture, is a lesser-known Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the 'thousand times'. The shrine's history dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and its name refers to the numerous myths and legends associated with the deity. The primary enshrined deity is Hata no Konoha no Okami, a regional kami revered in Okayama Prefecture for its protection of agriculture and good fortune.
