[2025 Toyama Attraction] Travel Guide for Hie Shrine (Updated Jul)

When strolling around Hie Shrine in Toyama, you can't miss the "Sanmoe Shrine" hidden next to the shrine. These three small but meaningful shrines each guard different life wishes. Suitengu Shrine is regarded as the patron saint of safe childbirth and child-rearing, and many local pregnant women come here to pray for safe and smooth childbirth; the Inari Shrine next to it symbolizes agricultural harvest and commercial prosperity, and there are always little foxes praying in front of the fox messenger; the last Kasuga Shrine is a shrine that brings good luck and good fortune, and many travelers will stop and pray quietly. The overall atmosphere is quiet and warm. The small shrine hides every wish in life. I recommend you to come here and quietly entrust your wishes to the gods 🌸 --- 📍Location check-in: Toyama Hie Shrine Sanmoesha (Sanwang Town, Toyama City) #Toyama Shrine #Sanmoesha #Suitengu #Inarisha #Kasugasha #Hie Shrine #Hokuriku Prayers #Toyama Travel #Japanese Shrine Tour #Toyama Attractions Recommended #May Good Places 2025

Located in the heart of Toyama City, Hie Shrine is an ancient shrine with a history spanning over a thousand years. Dedicated to Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto, it is revered as a guardian deity for good fortune, warding off misfortune, and ensuring career success. Just a ten-minute walk from Toyama Castle, this serene corner surrounded by lush greenery offers a peaceful retreat. During my visit, I happened to encounter a crowd of worshippers. The stone steps and vermilion torii gates of the shrine looked particularly majestic under the sunlight. Every May, the "Sanno Festival" is one of Toyama's most significant traditional events, bustling with activity and showcasing the charm of local culture. If you find yourself in Toyama, take a moment to step into this city shrine and experience the quiet strength unique to the Hokuriku region. 📍 Location Check-in: Hie Shrine (Toyama Sanno Town) Address: 4-12 Sanno-machi, Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #HieShrine is located in the heart of Toyama Prefecture and is located in the heart of the locals here, so it is nicknamed "Sannou san". We found this shrine by accident because we were going to Toyama Glass Art Museum, but it was not open yet, so we walked around there first. We found Hie Shrine, which attracted our attention and made us walk in. We later found out that this shrine is famous for praying for love, safe childbirth, and prosperity in business. #How to get there From Toyama Station, take the electric tram, start (C15). 🟩 Take the green line (C15) and get off at Nishicho Station (C8), then walk for another 5 minutes. 🟦 Take the blue line (C15) and get off at Grand Plaza-mae (C25), then walk for 3 minutes.

#thingstodo Hie Shrine is about as cute as it gets. Hie is close to the temple quarter in Toyama where quite a few small Shrines and Temples can be found and enjoyed. Both the Torii and Main shrine are beautiful but what I found most interesting were the carvings at one particular area of the Shrine with animal statues. Toyama is great for unique shrines and temples that you can visit in half an hour or less. Makes the entire area worth a daytrip.
