About this Shrine

Temple of the Village Head, the shrine is dedicated to Takehira no Kami, a Shinto deity believed to be the god of the village head and the origin of the surname Takeuchi. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a small village shrine, with a simple honden (main hall) and a haiden (outer hall). In recent years, the shrine has become a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the famous Ōmiya Bonsai Village.
