About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Nagano, Jōgan-ji Temple's sister shrine, Hakusan-gū, was built to commemorate Emperor Nintoku's visit to the area in 480 CE. The shrine is dedicated to various Shinto deities, including those associated with rice and fertility.

Cultural Significance

Jōgan-ji Temple is not directly affiliated with the shrine, but its proximity has led to a unique blend of Buddhist and Shinto traditions. The shrine's kami are believed to be related to those worshipped at nearby Otawara-michi no yahara no jinja.
