鹿島神宮

Kashima Jingu stands at Miyanaka 2306-1 in Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture, telephone 050-1724-5007, and enshrines Takemikazuchi no Okami as Hitachi Province's ichinomiya. Official pages trace founding to the age of Emperor Jimmu and note that a waterborne Mikoshi Festival is held every twelve years in the Horse year; the 2026 cycle includes related rites. The shrine treasure museum has been closed since 2018. Confirm prayer reception, parking changes, and Mikoshi Festival schedules before travel.
