About this Shrine

Tsurugi Shrine, located in the heart of Mito City, Tochigi Prefecture, is dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity. Founded during the Nara period (710-794 CE), this shrine has been a significant cultural and spiritual hub for the local community. The shrine's architecture reflects its long history, with a distinctive vermilion torii gate that welcomes visitors to the inner shrine.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its 'Tsurugi Shrine Bell', which is said to have healing properties. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, visitors can witness the rituals of 'Kanmuri' and 'Aki Matsuri', respectively, where sacred dances and offerings are performed to ensure a bountiful harvest.
