About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Aomori City, Mount Tsuruga Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto god of the sea, Tsukiyomi, and the storm god Susanoo. This shrine is famous for its beautiful gardens and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can explore the main hall, a traditional Japanese-style building adorned with colorful paper lanterns and vibrant cherry blossoms during spring.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is known for its unique architecture, featuring a distinctive curved roof that resembles a sail. This design element is said to represent the ocean's waves. Additionally, the shrine hosts an annual 'Matsuri' festival in honor of Susanoo, which features traditional performances and food stalls.
