About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Minami-Aizu, a coastal town in Shizuoka Prefecture, Ise-miyamori Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto god of prosperity and good fortune, Tamashii-Kunitokimi. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese designs with its tiled roof and curved wooden pillars. The site has been occupied since ancient times, with evidence suggesting that it was an important center for worship during the Heian period.
