Mizushi Shrine

〒769-2606 香川県東かがわ市水主1418−1

4.4(108)

Located in Higashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture, this shrine enshrines Yamato-Totohi-Momoso-Hime-no-Mikoto, who is revered as a deity of water virtue.

History

Before the Nara period, Yamato-Totohi-Momoso-Hime washed ashore in this area and came to be worshipped as a deity of water virtue. Kobo Daishi (Kukai) dug and dedicated an Akai well (ritual water well) within the shrine grounds. Additionally, due to the visit of Fujiwara no Tadasuke, the shrine was given the title 'O-Mizushi' (Great Mizushi). In 1903 (Meiji 36), it was elevated to the rank of a prefectural shrine (KenchA). It is currently recognized as one of the twenty-four shrines listed in the Engishiki for Sanuki Province.

This shrine stands quietly at the foot of a mountain, offering a calm atmosphere that evokes a sense of history. The approach path conveys a divine presence, and the grounds are surrounded by a nature-rich environment. Convenience for visitors is also high, as Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available even during the first three days of the New Year.
