About this Shrine

Ise Shrine, also known as Hiyoshi Taisha in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a revered Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Hiyoshi Okami. Located near Mount Haku, the shrine is believed to be one of the oldest shrines in Japan, with a history dating back to the 8th century. As a result of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the shrine was relocated to its current site, while the original temple remains nearby.

The Haku Sanzan is said to be inhabited by the kami Hiyoshi Okami, who is revered as the god of prosperity and good fortune. In addition to its spiritual significance, Ise Shrine is also an important cultural landmark and a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers.
