About this Shrine

Located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Ōzaki Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of prosperity and good fortune, particularly for farmers and fishermen. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance as a major pilgrimage site during the Heian period. Its main hall, Haiden, features an impressive wooden beam with a total length of over 21 meters, making it one of the longest in Japan.

Cultural Significance

Ōzaki Shrine is often visited during the Setsubun festival, which marks the beginning of spring. The festival involves bean-throwing rituals to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. In the shrine's courtyard, visitors can find a unique 'mikan-gashi' stall selling mandarin oranges as an offering for the kami.
