About this Shrine

Located in Akita Prefecture, Haidatsu Gold Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto kami of prosperity and good fortune, known as Takamagahara no Kami or Takamaga-gami. The shrine's name, which translates to 'gold board shrine', refers to the gold-colored boards used to cover its main hall during the Heian period. This unique architectural feature has been retained to this day, giving the shrine a striking and distinctive appearance.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its annual festival, which takes place in September and features traditional games and activities such as sumo wrestling and sake brewing. The festival is also known for its unique 'Golden Board' ceremony, where the gold-colored boards used to cover the main hall are carefully removed and stored away.
