About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Nagasaki City, Kūzan Tennōji is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Inari Ō no Kami. The shrine's origins date back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and it is one of the oldest and most respected shrines in Japan. Its architecture reflects the unique style of Kamakura-period temples, with its vermilion torii gates and imposing wooden structures.

Cultural Significance

As an Inari shrine, Kūzan Tennōji is famous for its many fox statues, known as kitsune, which are said to possess spiritual powers. The shrine also celebrates the annual Matsuri festival in September, featuring traditional dances and offerings to the deity.
