Taga Shrine Tagajo
多賀神社
Taga Taisha
Taga Taisha enshrines Izanagi and Izanami, the divine couple who created the Japanese islands according to the Kojiki. The shrine claims that Izanagi retired to this location after completing the act of creation, making it a profoundly significant site in Shinto cosmology. Known affectionately as 'Otaga-san,' the shrine is particularly famous for blessings of longevity and has been venerated since ancient times. The popular saying 'O-Ise mairi ni otaga e yokare' (After Ise, be sure to visit Taga) reflects its importance alongside Ise Grand Shrine.
The popular saying 'After visiting Ise, visit Taga too' reflects its traditional importance alongside Ise Grand Shrine.
