About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Mito, Chiba Prefecture, Tsukinoshima Shrine is a sacred site dedicated to the Shinto god of fire and metalworking, the kami of the island of Tsukinoshima. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance as an important center for copper production during the Edo period. Visitors can witness the unique 'Mogami-jidō' gate, which dates back to 1670.

Cultural Significance

Tsukinoshima Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of the 'Kitsune' (fox spirits), said to have once possessed the island. The shrine's architecture also features unique 'fusen' gate design, which incorporates symbolic elements of fire and water.
