About this Shrine

Longo Shrine, located in the town of Hikone in Shiga Prefecture, is dedicated to Longo, a kami associated with longevity and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its location on the shores of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan. The main hall's roof is adorned with lacquered wooden tiles, typical of Heian-era (794-1185) Shinto architecture. Visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of the shrine while strolling along the lake's shoreline.

Cultural Significance

Longo is often invoked for good fortune and longevity. The shrine's location on the lake's shoreline also connects it to the mythology surrounding Yamato no Okami, a divine fish said to inhabit the waters of Lake Biwa.
