Katori Shrine is the Ichinomiya (first shrine) of Shimousa Province. It is the head shrine of the Katori Shrines, of which there are around 400 throughout the country, and has a history of around 2600 years. The enshrined deity is Futsunushi no Okami, who appears in the myth of the transfer of the country in the Nihon Shoki. He traveled to Izumo together with Takemikazuchi no Okami, the enshrined deity of Kashima Shrine, to negotiate. He has been worshipped as a war god, as Okuninushi no Okami submitted to him due to the military might of the two gods. The jet-black shrine building has a dignified appearance and style that matches that! I personally really like the appearance of this shrine building. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Katori Jingu ꕥAddress: 1697-1 Katori, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚉Katori Station →🚶‍♀️About 29 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Katori Jingu #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Chiba trip #Chiba sightseeing

Location⬇ 1697 Katori, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, 287-0017 This shrine is surrounded by nature and stands in a quiet place. When I went, the irises were blooming beautifully, and apparently there was an iris festival being held in a nearby place called Sawara, so I saw an interesting way of decorating it, irises arranged in a boat-shaped pot for that event😆 The garden is very large and just the right size for a stroll😊 The shrine also has several types of fortune-telling slips, and this time I tried drawing one with a charm attached, and got a golden frog charm! The charms for these fortune-telling slips also come in about 14 different types, and they all have cute designs, so I'd like to collect them all😳 Katori Shrine has a lot to see, so please come and see them😄 #KatoriShingu #ChibaPrefectureTrip

Enjoy the famous shaved ice while strolling through the streets of Sawara, known as Little Edo. The sudachi shaved ice is a perfect summer dish, combining the moderate sweetness of wasanbon with the sourness of sudami 🍧✨ After visiting the historic Katori Shrine, take a leisurely walk along the river and enjoy the picturesque scenery. This is a relaxing spot where you can relax and enjoy the cloudless blue sky and the slowly flowing river. #Chiba #Sawara #Little Edo #Katori Shrine #Shaved Ice #River Scenery #Walking Around Town #0 Yen Travel February 2025

Katori Shrine is located in Katori, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture. The land is quite large and you can also enjoy the Japanese garden! The stately building gives off a sense of dignity. The best season to see it is of course autumn, when you can enjoy the autumn leaves, so it's a spot you should definitely visit at least once! 😊By the way, I can't remember whether it was at 4pm or 5pm when the sun sets, but the priest comes out and you can see some interesting things 😳#KatoriShrine#ChibaTourism#ChibaTrip
