〒770-8070 徳島県徳島市八万町向寺山５５
Located in Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, this shrine enshrines the prince of Amaterasu Omikami. It is affectionately known as 'Neko-gami-san' (Cat God) and is renowned as a deity of good fortune for academic success, business prosperity, and other forms of luck.
History
The shrine enshrines Ama-tsu-hiko-ne-no-Mikoto, the third son of Amaterasu Omikami, who has been worshipped since ancient times as a foundational deity of governance. Records indicate that during the Sengoku period, Shono Izumino-kami, lord of Yamato Castle, invited the kami from Tado Shrine in Ise. Since then, it has been revered as a protective deity for commoners. The nickname 'Neko-gami-san' (Cat God) originates from the enshrinement of the spirits of O-matsu and O-tama.
