About this Shrine

Located in the town of Narai, Nagano Prefecture, Tsushima Shrine is dedicated to Tsukuyomi-no-kami, the Shinto deity associated with the moon and the god of harvest. The shrine's architecture reflects the traditional Japanese style, featuring a vermilion torii gate and a large hall with a tiled roof. Visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of the shrine grounds, which include a peaceful pond and walking paths. Tsushima Shrine is also famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms during spring.

Cultural Significance

In Japanese folklore, Tsukuyomi-no-kami is often depicted as a powerful deity who controls the cycles of nature. During the annual 'Tsushima Shrine Cherry Blossom Festival', held in late March to early April, locals and visitors gather to admire the blooming cherry blossoms and participate in traditional tea ceremonies.
