About this Shrine

Located in the town of Matsue, Productivity Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto deity, Kanezaki-Okami, who is believed to be patron of agriculture and fishing. As a result, visitors can see a number of fish-shaped wooden artifacts on display within the shrine's main hall. The shrine is also notable for its traditional Japanese architecture, featuring a wooden torii gate and a large, imposing roof. While there isn't much information available about this specific shrine, it is likely to be a local Shinto deity that has been enshrined in the area for many years.

Cultural Significance

Kanezaki-Okami is often invoked for its power over fishing and agriculture. In Mino province (now part of Shimane prefecture), Kanezaki-Okami was considered an important deity during the Heian period.
