About this Shrine

Located in the Kagawa Prefecture, Name Department Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the spirit of the local lord, who protected the inhabitants from invading forces. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period's elegance and simplicity. The main hall features a vermilion gate adorned with gold leaf and an impressive wooden torii gate. Visitors can walk through the forested grounds along the Kotohira River, enjoying scenic views and peaceful atmosphere.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its 'fūjin no ki,' or wind god tree, believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. It also hosts an annual spring festival called 'Sakaki Matsuri' in late March.
