Taga Shrine

2 of 2 in Uwajima

Taga Shrine (多賀神社, Taga Jinja), located north of Uwajima’s city center, is known for its unique connection to fertility, health, and longevity. The shrine features an intriguing display of fertility-related objects, including a two-meter wooden phallus placed near the main building. Historically, such explicit items were more commonly found at shrines throughout Japan but were largely removed during the Meiji Period due to Western puritanical influences.

Adjacent to the shrine hall is a museum that showcases a fascinating collection of international and domestic adult-oriented materials. This includes various ukiyoe, adult illustrations, and artifacts from different cultures and historical periods. Please note, visitors under 20 years old are not permitted to enter the museum.
