About this Shrine

TsukUSA Shrine, located in the heart of Sendai City in Miyagi Prefecture, is one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, with a history dating back to the 7th century. Dedicated to Tsukuyomi-no-Okami, the Moon God and father of Amaterasu, the shrine is renowned for its striking architecture and unique rituals. Visitors can explore the serene gardens, which feature several large trees believed to be over 300 years old, including a majestic pine tree said to be one of Japan's oldest.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's oldest shrines, Tsukuyomi-no-Okami's association with the moon has led to several unique festivals throughout the year, including the Moon Viewing Festival in October and the Lantern Festival in December.
