About this Shrine

Located in the city of Akita, three-jigashinsha Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the same name, believed to be the god of fertility and prosperity. The shrine's main hall was originally built during the Edo period but was rebuilt after being destroyed by fire. Visitors can admire the beautiful gardens and enjoy traditional festivals such as the Akita Sake Festival in July.

Cultural Significance

The shrine's name is believed to be related to the three '吉' (jig) characters from the Chinese character for 'prosperity', which were thought to bring good fortune. The shrine also hosts an annual autumn leaf viewing event, where visitors can enjoy the vibrant foliage of its gardens.
