About this Shrine

Thatagami Shrine, located in the town of Nagahama in Shiga Prefecture, is dedicated to the Shinto kami of the sea and fertility. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location, with a wooden torii gate and a stone foundation that resembles a wave. Thatagami Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan, dating back to the Heian period. It is believed to be the place where the legendary Japanese leader, Prince Shotoku, was born.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the Shinto goddess of fertility, Himiko, who is revered for her power to protect fishermen and ensure a bountiful harvest. During the summer solstice festival, visitors can participate in traditional dances and music performances to honor the kami.
