Chiba🇯🇵Katori Shrine

Since ancient times, the royal family has held the utmost respect for the god of national defense, especially the imperial title of "Jingu" (before the Meiji era, there were only Ise, Katori, and Kashima). After the Middle Ages, it became a shrine in Shimosa Province. After the Meiji era, it became an official shrine under the shrine system. In the 17th year of the Showa era, it was governed by an imperial shrine and continues to exist to this day. Led by Kasuga Taisha in Nara and Shiogama Jinja Shrine in Miyagi, shrines dedicated to Katori Okami are spread all over the country and are widely revered. People generally believe in him as the god of family safety, guidance of industry (agriculture, industry and commerce), protection of the sea, fulfillment of wishes, matchmaking, and smooth childbirth. Moreover, Wude, as the ancestor god of peace and diplomacy, is well-known as the god of victory, traffic safety, and disaster prevention. #2024TravelReview
