About this Shrine

Located in the city of Sendai, the five-ten-sesse Shinto shrine is one of the oldest and most revered shrines in Miyagi Prefecture, dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). As a major Shinto site, it is dedicated to the worship of multiple kami, including Ryujin, Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo-no-Mikoto. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a distinctive vermillion torii gate. Visitors can experience the shrine's tranquil atmosphere and rich history during cherry blossom viewing season.

Cultural Significance

The five-ten-sesse Shinto shrine is associated with the mythology of Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who is said to have traveled from the sea to visit his sister, the sun goddess Amaterasu. The shrine's architecture also reflects its connection to Ryujin and Tsukiyomi, two powerful kami of the ocean and sky.
