About this Shrine

Ku-Izu Shrine, located in the scenic coastal town of Okishio, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity of Ku, god of agriculture and fertility. The shrine's architecture reflects the traditional style of Heian-period temples, with a unique blend of wooden and stone structures. Visitors can experience the tranquil atmosphere of the shrine's gardens, adorned with cherry blossoms during spring.

Cultural Significance

Ku-Izu Shrine is associated with the mythology of the Ku River, which runs along its western side. According to local legend, the river was said to have been created by the deity Ku himself. The shrine's annual spring festival, 'Shinbun Matsuri,' celebrates the arrival of spring and the fertility of the land.
