History

A nationally renowned shrine enshrining the deity of wind, Tatsuta Taisha. Recorded in both the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, this is truly a shrine of venerable lineage. Through the workings of the wind deity, people have long prayed for safe passage by sea and abundant harvests. Situated in the verdant region of Migo Town in Nara, this shrine is cherished as one that dispels malevolent spirits through the power of wind and brings forth good fortune. Particularly famous for its beautiful autumn foliage, one can enjoy the seasonal gifts of the wind deity in this grateful place. Together with the refreshing breeze, it brings forth new hope.
