About this Shrine

Located in the Niigata Prefecture, Yūsui-jinsha (or Matsushita-yashiro) is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity of rice fields and agriculture. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design with a tiled roof and a main hall, or hondo, that dates back to the Edo period. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, which feature several smaller shrines and torii gates dedicated to various kami.
