About this Shrine

Dōno Tsukimaya Hōzan-gū Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Inari Ō no Kami in the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. As one of the oldest shrines in Japan, it was originally established during the Nara period (712-794 CE). The shrine's name refers to its location on the banks of the Dōno River and the abundance of persimmons that grew there. Today, the shrine is known for its beautiful gardens, traditional architecture, and vibrant festivals.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its unique 'tsukimaya' (persimmon tree) trees, which are said to be the oldest and most sacred in Japan. During the autumnal festival, visitors can try persimmons from these special trees, believed to possess medicinal properties.
