About this Shrine

Byuguji Temple, located in the heart of Tottori Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Byugu, who is believed to have been born on the island of Honshu over 1,000 years ago. The shrine's architecture reflects its connection to the sea and the region's history as a major port city.

Cultural Significance

Byugu is often associated with maritime trade and protection. Visitors can see a shrine marker commemorating the founding of Tottori Prefecture by Emperor Seiwa in 716 AD, which is said to have been inspired by Byugu's divine powers.
