About this Shrine

Located in the city of Kanazawa, Hokuriku region, in Ishikawa Prefecture, Ohirinomatsuyaharai Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the land and the sea, Enryu, as well as the god of rice, Inari. The shrine complex spans over 3,000 square meters, featuring a stunning wooden torii gate, the largest in Japan, and a beautiful garden. It is said that the shrine was originally built on the site where an important battle took place during the Edo period, and its name 'Ohirinomatsuyaharai' literally translates to 'the land of the god's great anger'.

Cultural Significance

Ohirinomatsuyaharai Shrine is closely tied to local mythology, which tells the story of how Enryu and Inari arrived at the site. The shrine's torii gate is said to be an excellent omen for safe passage, while its garden features a special rock that resembles a dragon, believed to ward off evil spirits.
