About this Shrine

小塚山神社 is a Shinto shrine located in the town of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The shrine is dedicated to Tsukuyomi-no-Kami, one of the five imperial deities and the god of the moon. According to legend, Tsukuyomi-no-Kami was impressed by the beauty of a local maiden who lived in the area, and he chose her as his favorite concubine.

Cultural Significance

Tsukuyomi-no-Kami is often associated with the changing of the seasons, particularly the full moon. The shrine's annual Moon Viewing Festival ( Tsukimi Matsuri) takes place in November, where locals gather to admire the beauty of the full moon and offer prayers for good fortune.
