Narirai Jinja

Located in Kasugano, a noted scenic spot in Nara, this shrine enshrines the deity of thunder. True to its name "Narirai" (Thundering Thunder), through the powerful workings of the thunder deity, it brings rain and abundant harvests. Long revered as a deity of agriculture and one who governs the forces of nature, this auspicious shrine stands near Kasuga Taisha in this historic location. It continues to support the lives of the people alongside Nara's rich natural environment. With the roar of thunder, it dispels malevolent spirits and brings forth new vitality.
