About this Shrine

The Five-Deity Shrine, located in Toyokawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a Shinto temple dedicated to the veneration of five kami (deities) of good fortune and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance as one of the oldest shrines in Japan, dating back to the Heian period. Visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of this historic site by taking a stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens.

Cultural Significance

This shrine has a unique connection to the local legend of Toyokawa Sanemon, who was said to have been guided by the five kami before achieving great success in his life. Visitors can also observe the traditional Shinto festival known as the 'Furui Omusubi' held annually during the autumn season.
