About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Tokushima, Dayo-jinja Shrine is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and the storm god Susanoo. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it has played a significant role in the region's history and culture. The shrine's architecture reflects its long history, with elements from the Heian period (794-1185 CE) still intact.

Cultural Significance

As a prominent Shinto site, Dayo-jinja Shrine is closely tied to local folklore. The shrine's 'tamba' area is said to be a favorite haunt of Tokushima's yurei (ghosts), and visitors often report strange occurrences during the Otohime Matsuri festival in July.
