About this Shrine

Water Temple of the Kami, located in Chiba Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto deity of water and storms. The shrine's architecture reflects its importance as a water source, with a large torii gate adorned with a wooden boat-shaped roof. Visitors can perform purification rituals at the temizuya, a traditional Shinto water basin.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the legend of Ryujin, a dragon god said to reside in nearby Lake Chiba. During the annual Water Temple Festival, participants reenact the mythological battle between Ryujin and the storm god, Susanoo.
