About this Shrine

Located in the city of Yonago, Tottori Prefecture, Daie-ji Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the sea and fishing. The shrine's main hall, a wooden structure with a tiled roof, dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine complex also features a sacred fountain, said to be the resting place of a giant fish caught by a local hero. Visitors can purify themselves at the shrine's spring water source and make offerings to the kami for good fishing luck and safe passage.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the regional legend of Daie-ji no Sōsōki, a hero who caught a giant fish and used its scales to build the shrine. During the annual fishing festival, visitors can participate in traditional activities such as boat racing and fishing competitions.
