About this Shrine

厄災落とし斎場 is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war and medicine. The shrine's main hall was rebuilt in 1654 during the Edo period, featuring a distinctive tiled roof with a curved ridgepole. In Japanese mythology, Hachiman is believed to have helped the Imperial Court defeat the Emperors' enemies from the Yamato and Mutsu regions. Visitors can experience traditional Shinto rituals and ceremonies at this serene shrine.

Cultural Significance

In addition to its connection with Hachiman, the shrine also enshrines the god of good fortune and prosperity, Benzaiten. Visitors can participate in traditional dances and performances during the annual Matsue Festival, which honors these deities.
