About this Shrine

Located in the scenic Chuzenji Lake area of Nagata, Tochigi Prefecture, but sometimes confused with a Shinto shrine in Chiba called 'Ko-ryuzu-san Tenmangu' which has Inari okami as its enshrined deity. The Ko-ryuzu-san Tenmangu shrine is dedicated to the god of rice and fertility. Its most distinctive feature is the beautiful vermilion torii gate that stands at the foot of the mountain where the god is said to reside.

Cultural Significance

This shrine has strong connections to the Shinto festival of Sanja matsuri, which is typically held in May. Visitors can participate in traditional dance and music performances as well as pray for good fortune and fertility.
