About this Shrine

諏訪神社, located in Tokushima Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the same name. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a large torii gate and a wooden sanctuary building. Historically significant, the shrine dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE) and has been rebuilt multiple times due to natural disasters and conflicts.

Cultural Significance

諏訪神社 is associated with the mythology of Kumano, a sacred region in western Japan. The shrine's kami,諏訪神, is believed to be the guardian of travelers and fishermen. In May, the shrine hosts the annual Tonkatsu Festival, which features tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) stalls and live music performances.
