About this Shrine

Located on the eastern coast of Kyushu, not in Kyoto, Tailizaki Shrine is dedicated to the sea goddess, Yatagashi Okami, and the kami of fishing and navigation. Founded during the Heian period, the shrine's architecture reflects the Nara style, with a five-story pagoda and several smaller shrines. Visitors can participate in the annual Tanabata Festival, which honors the meeting of two star-crossed lovers from the heavenly realm.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with Yatagashi Okami, who is said to have guided fishermen to safe waters. The Tanabata Festival, celebrated on July 7th, features lanterns and prayers for a good fishing season.
