Tamatsukuriyu Shrine, Shinto shrine in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

Tamatsukuriyu-jinja is a Shinto shrine located in Matsue, situated in a quiet area with traditional architectural elements. The sanctuary features classic Japanese shrine design with a main hall, pathways, and surrounding green spaces.

The shrine's founding date is unknown. It appears in the Izumo Fudoki (compiled around 733) as Tamatsukuri-yu no yashiro, and by 927 both it and a companion shrine were listed in the Engishiki register of shrines. In 1252 Sasaki Yasukiyo donated five koku of rice, and a 1558 ridge tag names it Yuhime Daimyojin. The present honden was rebuilt in 1857; the shrine became a prefectural shrine in 1928.

The shrine's name joins tamatsukuri, the making of magatama and cylindrical beads, with yu, hot spring. Its four deities include Kushiakaru-tama, ancestor of Izumo's bead-makers, and the hot-spring gods Ōnamochi and Sukunahikona. Visitors receive a leaf-shaped stone at the office and pray three times at the wish stone using sacred water.

The shrine is accessible most days and offers an open, easy-to-navigate layout with level pathways throughout the grounds. The terrain is flat and free from major obstacles, making it comfortable to explore for most visitors.

The shrine's grounds form part of the state-designated Izumo Tamatsukuri Ruins, a Yayoi-period bead-making site. A storehouse beside the approach stairs, built in 1960 as a replica of an ancient house-shaped haniwa, holds about 700 artifacts; 184 beads and unfinished pieces and 162 whetstone fragments are National Important Cultural Properties.
