About this Shrine

Located in Aomori Prefecture, the Tsukiyomiya Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tsukuyomi-no-okami, one of the three principal kami who rule over heaven and earth. The shrine's current building dates back to 1859, although its history spans centuries, with records of worship dating back to the Edo period. As a sacred site for rice cultivation in northern Japan, the shrine is often visited by farmers seeking blessings for their crops. Its unique architecture reflects the region's rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage and annual Autumn Festival (Koyo Matsuri) which celebrates the harvest season. Visitors can also enjoy traditional performances, such as Kabuki plays and Noh theater, held during this festival.
