About this Shrine

田後神社, located in the western part of Japan's Tottori Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the goddess Oinagisama no Kane no kami. The shrine is situated near the coast and features a unique architectural style, with a main hall resembling a traditional Tottori-style temple. Historically, the shrine was an important stop for travelers and traders along the Nakamura Road, which connected Osaka to Hiroshima. Despite its historical significance, very little information is available on the primary kami enshrined at the shrine.

Cultural Significance

While Oinagisama no Kane no kami is the primary deity at the shrine, some research suggests that other regional kami may also be enshrined. The shrine's architecture and design have been influenced by local Tottori-style traditions, which often feature curved lines and wooden decorations. During the annual Obon festival, locals offer food and drink to the spirits of their ancestors, a tradition believed to be connected to the Shinto deity.
