About this Shrine

The Hōdō-jinsha Shrine, located in the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of wealth and prosperity, Kodama. However, another theory suggests it may be dedicated to the god Hōdō, associated with longevity and good fortune. The shrine was rebuilt in 1937 after its previous structure was destroyed during World War II. Visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese architecture and beautiful gardens while seeking blessings for prosperity and good health.

Cultural Significance

According to local legend, a group of traveling performers arrived at the shrine and were so moved by its beauty that they decided to dedicate their lives to serving the deity. This story reflects the shrine's focus on the virtues of loyalty and hard work.
