About this Shrine

Dragon Mountain Eight-Band Shinto Shrine is a prominent Shinto shrine located in the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. Dedicated to the god Susanoo-no-Mikoto and the benevolent kami of the sea, Otori, the shrine is renowned for its breathtaking architecture and scenic location on Mount Izumo. The shrine's name reflects its association with dragon mythology, as dragons are revered in Japanese culture as symbols of good fortune and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

The Dragon Mountain Eight-Band Shinto Shrine is closely tied to the mythological figure of Susanoo-no-Mikoto, known for his fierce temper and mighty deeds. Locals celebrate a festival in September called Matsue Tenmangyu Matsuri, which commemorates the founding of the shrine.
