About this Shrine

Ishie-dera, located in the town of Aishi on the southern coast of Izu Peninsula in Shiga Prefecture, is a sacred Shinto site dedicated to the god of the sea and prosperity, Oomiya Mikoto's predecessor deity. The shrine complex features a vermilion torii gate, a five-story pagoda, and several traditional structures dating back to the Heian period. Visitors can experience the beauty of the surrounding Izu Peninsula while paying respects to the shrine's kami.

Cultural Significance

Ishie-dera is famous for its unique festival, 'Kawarada Festival', which honors the god of fertility and agriculture. During this three-day celebration, participants reenact a traditional ritual by carrying large wooden statues through the streets.
