About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Tokushima, 廣旗神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of prosperity and good fortune. The shrine's name, which translates to 'Wide Flag Shrine', reflects its association with flags and banners that were once used to announce important events and celebrations in the region.
