About this Shrine

New田 Shrine, located in the prefecture of Ehime, is a Shinto temple dedicated to the kami of good fortune and prosperity. Built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine's architecture reflects the traditional style of Japanese temples from that era. The main hall of the shrine features a unique roof design known as 'gable-back' and is adorned with stunning wooden carvings, which are believed to hold spiritual significance. Visitors can admire these intricate designs while strolling through the serene gardens surrounding the shrine.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is also associated with the legend of the 'Hagi no Kami,' which states that the deity was revered by local farmers for its ability to bring fertility and prosperity to their crops. Today, the shrine hosts an annual festival (called 'New田 Shrine Festival') in May, where locals celebrate the arrival of spring with traditional dances, food, and games.
