About this Shrine

Nana-kawa Jinja, located in Sotogobo-cho, Sōsa-machi, Satsunokuchi, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of rivers and fishing, as well as the patron deity of the town. The shrine's name roughly translates to 'Seven Bend Shrine', likely referring to the seven bends of the nearby Satsunokuchi River. Its architecture reflects the Heian period, with a rectangular main hall, torii gate, and honden.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is particularly famous for its autumn festival (Aki Matsuri), which honors the town's patron deity and features a parade of floats decorated with rice, sake, and other local delicacies. Locals also believe that the shrine's torii gate has healing properties, making it a popular destination for those seeking good fortune.
