About this Shrine

Reigansha Shrine, located in Ibaraki Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Reigetsu no Mikoto, the god of thunder and lightning. The shrine's main hall, the honden, features a unique thatched roof, which symbolizes the connection between heaven and earth. Visitors can experience the vibrant atmosphere during the autumnal leaves festival, known as 'koyo,' which takes place in November. Reigansha Shrine is a popular destination for those seeking to appease the god of thunder and seek good fortune.

Cultural Significance

Reigansha Shrine has strong connections to the legend of the 'Thunder God's Daughter,' which tells the story of a young woman named Hikohime who was born from a lightning bolt. The shrine's design and architecture reflect this mythological significance, with elements such as the honden's curved roof representing the shape of a thunderbolt.
