About this Shrine

Located in the scenic town of Nikkō, Shimoike-hara, in the prefecture of Gunma, Indra Shrine is a sacred Shinto site that honors the storm god Susanoo-no-mikoto. Dedicated to the worship of Indra and other deities, the shrine boasts an impressive architecture featuring the iconic five-story pagoda and the beautiful garden designed by renowned landscape architect Kenkō Ietsune.

Cultural Significance

Indra Shrine is associated with the legend of Susanoo-no-mikoto's love affair with the princess of the land of Uzume. The shrine's sacred trees are believed to be descendants of those planted by Susanoo himself, which makes them particularly revered for their spiritual significance.
