About this Shrine

The Shitennō-ji Temple in Nagoya has a sister shrine, the Five-Column Shrine (Goshinmei-jinja) in Hiroshima Prefecture, which honors the five major deities of the Shinto pantheon: Amaterasu, Susanoo, Fujin, Raijin, and Inazuma. The shrine is believed to have been founded in 1601 by the Tokugawa shogunate to celebrate the arrival of the new era, Edo. Today, the Five-Column Shrine is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, attracting visitors with its stunning architecture and rich history.

Cultural Significance

The Five-Column Shrine is significant in Shinto mythology as it commemorates the five deities associated with wind, thunder, and storms. The shrine's architecture reflects this connection, featuring a majestic torii gate adorned with wind chimes and lanterns to ward off evil spirits.
