About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Shizuoka Prefecture, Susa Shrine is a historic Shinto temple dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and the storm god Susanoo. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a sacred mountain shrine, with a distinctive tiled roof and a vermilion torii gate. Visitors can explore the shrine's serene gardens and traditional buildings, including a beautiful wooden main hall.

Cultural Significance

Susa Shrine is famous for its association with Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the storm god who was said to have created the ocean by striking his sister Amaterasu's umbrella. According to legend, Susanoo would visit the shrine each year during the Obon festival to hunt for fish in the nearby Susa River.
