Taga-taisha, Shinto shrine in Taga, Japan.

The shrine complex features dark wooden buildings with gold accents and includes the Taikobashi Bridge spanning across the grounds.

According to ancient chronicles from 712 AD, Taga-taisha maintains connections to the legendary hero Yamato Takeru and his son Inugami no Mitasuki.

The shrine holds three major festivals: Korei-taisai in April, Otaue-sai rice planting festival in June, and Mantō-sai lantern festival in August.

Visitors can reach Taga-taisha through the Ohmi Railway, with Taga Taisha-mae Station located just ten minutes walking distance from the shrine entrance.

The shrine gardens, dating from the Momoyama period, received national recognition as a Place of Scenic Beauty, while the mid-Edo period Shoin earned prefecture protection.
