Ashikaga Orihime Shrine

4.3 (4216)Tourist AttractionPlace Of WorshipPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Ashikaga Orihime Shrine stands on a hillside overlooking Ashikaga City in Tochigi Prefecture, approximately 90 kilometers north of Tokyo. The shrine was established in 1705 during the Edo period, though the site itself has been considered sacred for much longer. Its name derives from the legend of Orihime, the weaving princess from the Tanabata star festival, making it particularly significant as a shrine dedicated to the textile industry and the prosperity of Ashikaga's historic weaving trade.

The shrine is intimately connected to Ashikaga's identity as a major textile production center that flourished for centuries. Local weavers and textile merchants traditionally visited to pray for success in their craft and business prosperity. The deity enshrined here, Orihime-no-Mikoto, is believed to protect weavers and bring blessings related to matchmaking and relationships, drawing on the romantic Tanabata legend. The shrine continues to attract visitors seeking good fortune in love and marriage alongside those interested in the region's textile heritage.

Visitors access the shrine via a scenic stone stairway of 229 steps that climbs through forested grounds, offering increasingly expansive views of Ashikaga City and the surrounding Kanto Plain. The main hall features traditional wooden architecture with vermillion accents typical of Shinto shrines. The grounds include several smaller subsidiary shrines and stone lanterns lining the pathways. From the upper precincts, the observation deck provides panoramic vistas that are particularly striking during cherry blossom season in early April and autumn foliage in November. The shrine is also known for its Tanabata Festival celebrations on July 7th, when special decorations and wishes written on paper strips adorn the grounds.

Ashikaga Orihime Shrine is located about 2 kilometers southwest of JR Ashikaga Station on the JR Ryomo Line. Visitors can reach the shrine base in approximately 25 minutes on foot from the station, or take a local bus that stops near the entrance. The shrine is also accessible from Tobu Ashikaga-shi Station in roughly 30 minutes walking. Admission to the shrine grounds is free, and visitors can explore at their own pace throughout daylight hours.

입장료 없어요. 주차장 넓어요. 주차비 무료. 화장실 깨끗해요.
운동하기 좋음. 데이트 코스로 괜찮지만 멧돼지와 지네가 많이 살고 있으니 조심. 위에 소바집이 있는데, 양은 적지만 맛은 있음.
