About this Shrine

Horiyoshi-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Niigata Prefecture, dedicated to the worship of Hachiman-gu, the deity of war and patron of the Horiyoshi clan who ruled the region from the 14th century. The shrine's current main hall was rebuilt in 1696, but the temple complex dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). The shrine is known for its stunning autumn foliage and traditional Japanese architecture.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its 'Furinji-gusa' festival, which takes place in June. During this festival, visitors can enjoy traditional dance performances, games, and food stalls, as well as witness a ritual purification of the shrines.
