About this Shrine

Horie-in-yamano-no-kami-jinja is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of rice and agriculture in Ibaraki Prefecture, but due to its location near Saitama Prefecture, it is often associated with Hachiman-gu, the god of war.

Visitors can explore the shrine grounds and experience rural tranquility. In the autumn season, visitors can see beautiful fall foliage.

Cultural Significance

As a subsidiary shrine of Hachiman-gu, it is considered a place for seeking protection from illness and disease related to the military or war. Local legend also tells that the god of war appears in various forms at this shrine during times of conflict.
