Iki Shrine

茨城町下土師1432

Recognized as one of the Three Shrines of the East (Tōkoku Sansha) alongside Kashima Jingu and Katori Jingu, this shrine also holds significance as a deity of waterway transportation.

History

According to shrine tradition, it was founded during the reign of Emperor Ōjin (the 15th emperor) in the Nikawa area (present-day Nikawa, Kamisu City) and relocated to its current site in 807 CE (Dōtō 2) by Fujiwara no Uchimarō. For a long time, it has been revered as one of the Three Shrines of the East alongside Kashima Jingu and Katori Jingu, receiving high regard from the imperial court, which dispatched imperial envoys to pray for national stability. During the Edo period, it was also deeply revered by the Tokugawa clan, and it was customary for people from the Kantō region and north to visit this shrine after worshipping at Ise Jingu.
