About this Shrine

Rivera Shrine, located in the city of Maibara in Shiga Prefecture, is a sacred Shinto site dedicated to the protection and prosperity of the nearby Hōki River. The shrine's architecture reflects its long history, with a main hall constructed during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and later additions made during the Edo period (1603-1868 CE). Visitors can experience traditional Shinto practices and rituals, including the purification ceremony of the river.

Cultural Significance

Rivera Shrine is connected to the mythology of the Hōki River, which is said to be inhabited by the kami Okuninushi. During the spring festival, known as Hōketsu Matsuri, locals offer food and drink to the kami and hold games and activities along the riverbank.
