About this Shrine

Unazuki Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Toyama, dedicated to the kami Unagi-no-mikoto, a fish deity associated with good fortune and prosperity. The shrine's architecture is typical of Edo-period shrines, featuring a square pagoda and a traditional torii gate. Visitors can take part in the annual 'Unazuki Matsuri' festival, which honors Unagi-no-mikoto with offerings of fresh seafood and sake.
