Wakasa Ichinomiya Shrine

An Ancient Pair of Shrines to Protect Wakasa Province

Wakasa Ichinomiya Shrine was established in 714, as the main Shinto shrine of Wakasa Province. Wakasa Ichinomiya actually consists of a pair of shrines: Wakasahiko Shrine as the “upper shrine,” and Wakasahime Shrine as the “lower shrine.”

The path to Wakasahiko Shrine is lined with tall, ancient trees. The shrine is dedicated to the deity of tatami mats, and is also a protector shrine for sailors and fishers.

Wakasahime Shrine is a popular place to pray for safe childbirth.
