Kashima Jinja

Kashima Jinja in Minami-Soma has been cherished by local people as the guardian deity of this region for a long time. As its name Kashima suggests, a kami presiding over martial success and peace is enshrined here. Particularly after the Great East Japan Earthquake, many worshippers have visited with prayers for reconstruction. It continues to play an important role as a place that deepens community bonds and kindles hope for the future. A powerful energy for overcoming difficulties dwells within this shrine.
