About this Shrine

Tsutsukigahara Shrine, dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The shrine's main hall is adorned with a beautiful sliding door made of Japanese cypress, and its grounds are surrounded by a serene forest that has been preserved since the Heian period. Visitors can walk through the forest paths to experience the peaceful atmosphere of this ancient shrine.

Cultural Significance

Tsutsukigahara Shrine is closely associated with the legend of Amaterasu, the sun goddess who descended to the underworld to escape her sister's jealousy. The shrine also hosts an annual festival in June to celebrate the summer solstice and honor the kami.
