About this Shrine

Located in the city of Sendai, Kusudoga Jinsha Shrine is one of Japan's oldest shrines, dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine is dedicated to the deity Ise-no-kami, a powerful storm god. Its architecture reflects the Kamakura style, with a distinctive five-story pagoda and ornate torii gate. Visitors can experience traditional Japanese culture through the shrine's annual festivals, including the Spring Festival and Autumn Leaves Festival.
