[2025 Ashikaga Attraction] Travel Guide for Orihimejinja Nanaironotorii (Updated May)

#Introducing the best views in Japan Ashikaga Orihime Shrine is located in Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture, and is known as the god of industrial promotion and matchmaking. The deities enshrined here are Ameno-Mikoto, a silk weaver, and Ameno-Yachihime, a weaver. It is said that the two deities wove fabric and presented it to Amaterasu Omikami. Fabric is made by weaving warp threads and weft threads together, which is why the shrine is known as the shrine of matchmaking. The machines that weave fabric are made of iron, so Since many of the shrines are decorated with seven different deities, it is said to be the god of all industries, and is said to be a shrine for industrial promotion that connects seven connections. Ashikaga Orihime Shrine has a rare seven-colored torii gate, which is rare even nationwide. It represents the "seven divine virtues." After you finish praying, try going through the "Enmusubi-no-zaka" where the seven-colored torii gates are lined up on your way back. The 229 steps leading from the large torii gate to the main hall are called the "Otoko-zaka" and are steep, but the "Onna-zaka" on the left is a gentler staircase. The seven-colored torii gates are lined up on the "Onna-zaka" side. From the main hall Red ❤️ Good people and good relationships ↓Yellow 💛 Good health and good relationships ↓Green 💚 Good wisdom and good relationships ↓Blue 💙 Good life and good relationships ↓Light green 💚 Good academics and good relationships ↓Vermilion ❤️ Good work and good relationships ↓Purple 💜 Good management and good relationships Passing through the colorful torii gates while enjoying the view will raise your spirits and may even increase the benefits of each!
