About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Aomori, the Great Forest Shrine is dedicated to the worship of Ryūjin, the Shinto god of the sea and storms. The shrine's architecture reflects its connection to the ocean, with tall cedar pillars and a distinctive torii gate adorned with sea shells and other coastal motifs.

Cultural Significance

As Ryūjin is revered as the god of storms, the shrine's festival in October celebrates the harvest season with rituals to ensure good weather for the coming year. The distinctive cedar pillars are said to have been gifted by Ryūjin himself.
