About this Shrine

Berukama Shrine, located in Shitanda village, is dedicated to the kami of agriculture and fertility. The shrine's name reflects its association with Japanese beech trees, which are believed to symbolize longevity and good fortune. Built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), Berukama Shrine has undergone several renovations and expansions throughout its history. Today, it remains an important cultural and historical landmark in Kagawa Prefecture.

Cultural Significance

Berukama Shrine is believed to be the ancestral home of the Tosa clan, a powerful samurai family in feudal Japan. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Shinto design, with a characteristic hipped roof and a large torii gate. During the annual Spring Festival, locals offer food and drink to the kami, seeking blessings for a bountiful harvest.
