About this Shrine

The摂津國中七十五神 shrine, located in Shiga Prefecture, is one of the most well-known shrines dedicated to the Taira clan's ancestral kami. The name '摂津' refers to the region where the Taira family originated, and '中七十五神' indicates that it enshrines 75 different deities. The shrine complex features a unique architectural style typical of ancient Japanese temples, with wooden structures and tiled roofs dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which include several stone lanterns, a pond, and a torii gate, while praying for good fortune, prosperity, and protection.

Cultural Significance

The Taira clan is famously associated with the Genpei War (1180-1185 CE), a bitter conflict between rival samurai families that ultimately led to the downfall of the Taira dynasty. Visitors can learn more about this history at the nearby Shigaraki Castle Museum.
