Yohashira-jinja Shrine

4.0

This shrine located in the Ote district of Nagano Prefecture’s Matsumoto City mainly enshrines four deities: Ame-no-Minakanushi-no-Kami, Takamimusubi-no-Kami, Kamimusubi-no-Kami, and Amaterasu Omikami. It attracts fervent believers as the deity who connects wishes and makes all requests come true and is also popular as a “power spot” (a location thought to be flowing with mystical energy). Among the locals it is affectionately called Shinto-san. The Shinto Festival is a procession that is held every year from October 1st–3rd, and is a representative festival of Matsumoto bustling with yatai food stalls, exhibitions of butai-hoei floats and an offering of fireworks.

This was my 2nd visit, and it was beautiful. We were there when the autumnal colours were doing their thing and as usual it was peaceful and calm. If you enjoy wandering around shrines, youll like...

The Shrine is next to lovely Nawate Street and you will probably pass it on your way to Matsumoto Castle. Its worth a stop.
