About this Shrine

高 龍神社 (Taka Ryū Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture. Dedicated to the god of thunder, Ryūjin, and the dragon, Taka Ryū, this shrine is known for its unique architecture and connection to local folklore.

Cultural Significance

The shrine's architecture is inspired by the traditional Japanese style of 'tsukubai' water basins, which are believed to purify the mind and soul. During the summer solstice festival, locals reenact an ancient legend about Ryūjin defeating a giant serpent in the nearby Sakudaira River.
