About this Shrine

Tanna Shrine, located in the heart of Shizuoka Prefecture, is a tranquil oasis that showcases traditional Japanese architecture and rich cultural heritage. Built during the Edo period (1603-1868), the shrine's main hall is adorned with intricate wooden carvings and ornate stone lanterns. The shrine's primary enshrined deity, Tanna no kami, is revered for its role as a protector of fishermen and travelers. Visitors can explore the shrine's serene gardens, which feature beautifully manicured trees and a tranquil pond.

Cultural Significance

Tanna Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of the Shizuoka region, where it is said to be the birthplace of the Tanna no kami. During the annual autumn festival (, Aki Matsuri), visitors can participate in traditional dances and games, such as the iconic 'tsugaru-jagannai' folk dance.
