About this Shrine

Kami-Myojo Shrine in Tokushima is dedicated to the Shikoku's patron deity, Shikoku Sanzan, a trinity of powerful kami who are said to reside at the top of Mount Koya. Visitors can experience the serene beauty of the shrine's tranquil gardens and walkways, adorned with moss-covered stone lanterns and cherry blossoms in spring.

Cultural Significance

Kami-Myojo Shrine is closely tied to the Shikoku Sanzan mythology, which tells of a powerful trinity of kami who protected the island from harm. The shrine also hosts an annual Spring Festival (Hanamatsuri), where visitors can witness traditional dances and performances.
