About this Shrine

The Tottori Shrine, dedicated to the Moon Goddess Amaterasu, is a prominent Shinto site in the Tottori Prefecture. Dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), this shrine showcases a unique architectural style blending traditional and modern elements. Its primary deity, Amaterasu, is revered for her role as the sun goddess and patron of war, agriculture, and fertility.

Cultural Significance

As an important Shinto site, the Tottori Shrine is also significant for its association with the famous Japanese folktale, 'Urashima Tarō,' in which the hero visits the underwater palace of the Sea Goddess Ryūgū no Ōto. The shrine's architecture and grounds are said to reflect this mythological connection.
