About this Shrine

Located in the city of Tsukuba, Chiba Prefecture, Goryu Shrine is one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, with a history dating back to the 8th century. Dedicated to Okuninushi, the god of harvest and good fortune, the shrine is renowned for its stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. Visitors can explore the tranquil grounds, including the serene Shishigahara Pond, lined with vibrant cherry blossoms in spring.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's oldest shrines, Goryu Shrine is closely tied to the mythology of rice cultivation. According to legend, Okuninushi saved humanity from a great flood by discovering the source of a sacred river and preventing it from overflowing. Today, the shrine plays host to various festivals throughout the year, including the 'Goryu Autumn Festival', which celebrates the harvest season.
