About this Shrine

Located in the scenic city of Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture's Indra Shrine is one of Japan's most famous and historic Shinto shrines. Dedicated to the storm god Susanoo-no-Mikoto, it was established during the Nara period (710-794 CE) and has since become a revered destination for locals and pilgrims alike. The shrine's architecture reflects its rich history, with its impressive main hall, torii gate, and serene gardens.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its association with rice and fertility, as well as its unique torii gate adorned with rice-straw decorations during the spring cherry blossom season. According to Shinto mythology, Susanoo-no-Mikoto's divine presence was said to have caused a great storm that destroyed a neighboring village, but his subsequent apology and offer of compensation led to the founding of this shrine.
