About this Shrine

Hand-watering station, a humble shrine in rural Tottori Prefecture, is believed to be dedicated to the kami of agriculture and fertility. Dedicated to the deities who protect the land and ensure bountiful harvests, it attracts visitors seeking blessings for a successful rice harvest or good fortune. The shrine's architecture reflects its rustic surroundings, blending seamlessly into the natural landscape.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its unique 'hand-watering station' where visitors can participate in a traditional ritual by pouring water from an ornate ladle onto sacred ema statues, praying for good fortune. This practice is said to be inspired by the ancient practice of 'tsunagari,' where farmers would perform a blessing ceremony after planting and harvesting crops.
