About this Shrine

Mitsumine-san, a Shinto deity of rice production and fertility, is enshrined at Kumamoto-ji Shrine in Fukuoka, but Yatagahama no Kanei Jinja, located in Yamagata Prefecture, is dedicated to Heigetsu Tenjin, a kami associated with the prosperity of rice and industry. The shrine was built during the Edo period (1603–21864) as a branch shrine of Zao-ji Shrine. Today, visitors can explore traditional Japanese architecture, including the vermilion torii gate and five-story pagoda.

Cultural Significance

Yatagahama no Kanei Jinja is known for its autumn leaves, which are said to resemble the colors of the rice fields. The shrine also hosts festivals in honor of Heigetsu Tenjin and other deities.
