This year, Fukashi Shrine celebrates 684 years since its founding, while the adjacent Baifukaku celebrates 29 years. The name Baifukaku refers to the plum-tree crest of the Fukashi Shrine's deity, Tenjin-sama. The shrine is one of the few wedding venues where couples can return after marriage to celebrate other milestones in their lives, such as the miyamairi (shrine visit for newborns), the shichigosan (shrine visit for young children), the coming-of-age ceremony, and even a simple visit on an ordinary day. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff are always on hand to help you with any questions you may have.
