About this Shrine

Located in the town of Iwai, Shimane Prefecture, 十軒屋稲生神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tsukiyomi, one of the three chief kami of the Japanese pantheon.

While the exact date of its founding is unknown, the shrine is believed to have been established during the Edo period (1603-1867).
