About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Hitachi Seaside City, Omiya Shrine, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the Sun Goddess, as well as the local deity Ryūgūin, and the god of prosperity, Ebisu. With its long history dating back to 1605, Omiya Shrine has played an important role in the city's development and is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage. The shrine's architecture is typical of a traditional Japanese Shinto shrine with a large torii gate and a beautifully landscaped garden.

Cultural Significance

Omiya Shrine is known for its association with the Japanese mythological figure Ryūgūin, who is said to reside in the nearby sea. The shrine's autumn festival, also known as the 'Koyo Matsuri,' celebrates this connection and features traditional music, dance, and food.
