About this Shrine

Six所神社 is a Shinto shrine located in the Japanese prefecture of Shizuoka, renowned for its unique architectural style and historical significance. The shrine was built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE) and features a distinctive six-tiered torii gate structure. This design element is said to have originated from the six sacred forests of Mount Fuji, which are considered sacred by locals. The shrine's primary kami enshrined is Fujin, the god of wind and storms.

Cultural Significance

Fujin is believed to have been enshrined here due to his role as a god who calmed storms and protected local fishermen. During the annual Obon festival, locals perform rituals to appease Fujin and ensure good harvests.
