Kashima Jingu Shrine is one of the oldest Shinto Shrines in Ibaragi prefecture. "Takemikazuchi-no-kami", the god of war of the Yamato dynasty, is enshrined there. In old times, "Kashima-no-ohkarai", the god of water and agriculture in the Province of "Hitachi", was enshrined there. The buildings are located along two axes. One axis passes through the "Hon-den", the "Hai-den" and the "Niji-raon". The second axis goes across the "Kari-dono" and the"Ro-mon". The compound is composed of three areas. The first part is for "Kashima-no-ohkami", the second part is for "Takemikazuchi-no-kami", and the third part is for both of them.
