About this Shrine

Located in the town of Iwate in Iwate Prefecture, Adda Shrine is a Shinto temple that has been dedicated to the deity of agriculture and fertility since ancient times. The shrine's current main hall dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), but it is believed that the original shrine was constructed during the Edo period (1603-1867). The shrine is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and is visited by many pilgrims seeking good harvests.

Cultural Significance

Adda Shrine is also famous for its 'tsukimi' viewing ceremony, which takes place in November and allows visitors to witness the full moon at the shrine. This event is believed to have originated during the Heian period (794-1185) and is still observed today.
