About this Shrine

White Mountain Shrine, located in the Aoba-ku district of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, is one of Japan's most historic and culturally significant Shinto shrines. Dedicated to Tsukuyomi, the kami of the moon, the shrine was originally built in 711 CE during the Nara period as a humble village shrine. Over time, it has been rebuilt and expanded several times, with the current structure dating back to the 17th century.

Cultural Significance

White Mountain Shrine is famous for its association with the legend of Tsukuyomi's magical fish, which granted him immortality. The shrine also hosts an annual autumn festival to honor the kami and celebrate the harvest season.
