Aizumisato, Fukushima

Isasumi Shrine

伊佐須美神社

A major Aizu shrine in Aizumisato, with a gate and seasonal iris garden. It suits a visit beyond central Aizuwakamatsu, provided you allow time for local transport.

A short history

Its origin tradition connects the shrine with the ancient journeys of Obiko and Takenunakawawake. The shrine’s long Aizu history is distinct from that legend. A 2008 fire destroyed major shrine buildings; reconstruction remains a subject of official notices.

Before you go

Do not expect the pre-fire main hall to be standing unchanged. Check the latest reconstruction and worship notices. Iris flowering and event dates vary each year.
