About this Shrine

Located in the city of Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Spring Millet Shrine is dedicated to the god of rice and prosperity. According to local legend, the shrine was founded by a Japanese immigrant from Korea in 1866 as a way to honor his ancestral homeland. Today, visitors can see ancient stone lanterns, wooden torii gates, and a unique roof system that allows for natural ventilation during hot summer months.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is home to the famous 'spring millet' festival, which celebrates the beginning of spring and the new rice harvest. Visitors can participate in traditional rituals and games, including a lively parade with floats and dancers dressed in traditional Korean-inspired clothing.
