About this Shrine

Puruga-jinja, located in Fukuoka, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sea god and god of storms, Ōnoimatsuhiko. The main hall, known as 'honden,' was rebuilt in 2020 after being destroyed by the 1995 Great Kyushu Earthquake. Visitors can observe ancient trees on the grounds, believed to have been blessed by the shrine's kami.

The shrine is also famous for its beautiful gardens and traditional Japanese architecture. The nearby Nakasu River offers stunning views of the surrounding area during sunrise or sunset.

Cultural Significance

Ōnoimatsuhiko is revered for his power to calm storms and ensure safe passage at sea. Locals offer prayers and food offerings to the shrine before embarking on fishing or boat trips.
