About this Shrine

Autumn Leaves Shrine is a small Shinto shrine located in the Ishikawa Prefecture, dedicated to the worship of Hachiman and Inari, as well as other regional kami. The shrine's architecture reflects its historic significance during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), with a main hall constructed using local cedar wood. Visitors can admire the shrine's autumn foliage in October, a popular time for leaf peeping in Japan.

Cultural Significance

In addition to Hachiman and Inari, the shrine also enshrines the regional kami of the Akihama family, believed to have been patrons of agriculture in the area. The shrine's autumn festival (koyo matsuri) attracts visitors from nearby towns and is a time for communal celebration and gratitude.
