About this Shrine

Imamiya Shrine, located in the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park of Shizuoka Prefecture, is dedicated to the god of storms and lightning, Inazumanokami, but also enshrines Fujin, the wind god, and Raijin, the thunder god. The shrine's architecture reflects its strategic location on a hillside overlooking Suruga Bay, with a main hall built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE). A wooden statue of Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess, stands proudly at the entrance. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of Mt. Fuji from the shrine's grounds.

Cultural Significance

Imamiya Shrine is known for its traditional Japanese architecture and beautiful gardens. The shrine also hosts a unique festival called 'Sakura Matsuri,' where participants dress up in costumes to honor the god of storms and lightning.
