About this Shrine

Located in the city of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, 芳賀諏訪神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the worship of Fujin, the god of wind, and Raijin, the god of thunder. The shrine's main hall, the honden, was rebuilt in 1968 after being destroyed during World War II. Visitors can experience the tranquility of the shrine's grounds, which feature several small shrines and statues dedicated to other regional kami.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is significant not only for its traditional architecture but also for its connection to the folklore of the Sendai region. The shrine's grounds are said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who was burned alive during the Edo period, and visitors may experience strange occurrences, such as unexplained drafts or thunderclaps.
