About this Shrine

Established in 1557, Shinto Shrine for the First Position of Standing Firm Rice God in Akita Prefecture is a revered temple dedicated to the god of rice and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period style, with a distinctive five-story pagoda and two wooden gates. Visitors can participate in the annual Rice Festival, held on April 27th, to pray for a bountiful harvest.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is also associated with the Taira clan, a powerful family in Japanese history. During the Edo period, the shrine was rebuilt in its current form, and a large stone lantern was erected in front of the main hall. In addition, the shrine is believed to be the guardian of the Akita region's agriculture.
