About this Shrine

天津神社 is a Shinto shrine located in Takamatsu, the capital city of Kagawa Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to a kami believed to reside at the confluence of the Asahima River and the Houshū River. Visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese architecture, including a wooden torii gate and a five-story pagoda. The shrine grounds also feature a historic teahouse and a museum showcasing local art and artifacts.

Cultural Significance

In Japanese mythology, kami associated with water sources are believed to have the power to control floods and droughts. The Asahima River is also said to be the site of a legendary battle between the goddess Izanagi and her brother Izanami, who were fighting over the creation of the Japanese islands.
