History
Biei Jinja is a shrine that watches over the town of Biei, known for its beautiful rolling hills. It is said to have been founded by settlers who came during the settlement era, praying for safe living and abundant harvests in this fertile land. With a history of walking through Biei's landscapes across all four seasons, it has especially gathered regional faith alongside agricultural development. Located in the town center, it continues to be cherished as a spiritual support for local residents. This shrine quietly watches over people's lives together with Biei's beautiful nature.
