About this Shrine

Located in the town of Mito, Godo Taikoku Maisen Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the deity White Beard Shinto (Shirokuma Shinto) who is said to watch over fishermen and merchants. The shrine's main hall was built in 1926, but it has undergone several renovations throughout its history. Visitors can walk through the traditional Japanese garden and take in the beautiful views of Tokyo Bay.

Cultural Significance

White Beard Shinto is often associated with navigation and maritime trade. Locals celebrate the annual White Beard Festival (Shirokuma Matsuri) in July to pray for good fortune and protection from storms. The shrine's garden features several stone statues of mythical creatures, including dragons and tengu.
