About this Shrine

Middle須賀恵比須神社 is a Shinto shrine located in the Seto Inland Sea region of western Japan's Kagawa Prefecture.

Middle須賀惠比須神社 is notable for its unique architecture, which reflects the traditional Japanese style with subtle influences from the nearby Awa Odori folk dance traditions.
