About this Shrine

Located in the heart of the Japanese Alps, Tenno-oki-dori Shrine is a lesser-known Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Tenno-O-no-Kami, revered as the god of the Emperor and the founding ancestor of the Fujiwara clan. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance during the Edo period, with traditional red-tiled roofs and wooden pillars.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is known for its unique tradition of 'mochi-maki' ceremony, where visitors receive sweet rice cakes wrapped in paper as a symbol of good luck and blessings. The shrine also hosts an annual 'Tenno-O-no-Kami' festival in July to honor the deity.
