About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Akita city, Love Shrine is a small but historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of love and fertility. Founded in 1694, it has been an important place of worship for local residents seeking good fortune, happiness, and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a humble, rural temple, with traditional wooden buildings and gardens. Love Shrine is also known for its beautiful cherry blossom trees, which bloom each spring and attract visitors from across the region.

Cultural Significance

Love Shrine has strong connections to the mythology of Akita's region. The shrine is said to be one of the few Shinto shrines in Japan that enshrines both Inari Okami and Seme no Kami, two different types of kami (spirits) that are revered for their association with fertility and prosperity.
