About this Shrine

East Peak Shrine, located in the scenic town of Daigo in Ibaraki Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto kami of the mountain. The shrine's location at the foot of Mount Daisetsuzan offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. While its exact founding date is unknown, it is believed to have been established during the Heian period (794-1185 CE). As one of the oldest shrines in Ibaraki Prefecture, East Peak Shrine serves as a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

East Peak Shrine is connected to the mythological figure of Sotokannon, a Shinto deity associated with childbirth and protection. During the spring festival, known as Tanabata, visitors may notice a unique tradition where children write their wishes on tanzaku papers and tie them to the shrine's vermilion torii gates.
