!!!WE ARE CHANGING OUR NAME!!!
Our new name will be
SHINTO SHRINE OF SHUSSE INARI IN AMERICA.
Spring has come and a fresh start has begun! This spring, we at Shusse Inari Shrine of America will be changing our name to Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari in America.
Shinto Shrine of Shusse Inari in America is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
We have seen an increase in the number of people interested in Shinto since we opened our US branch in 2017. Our new name will make us easier to find for people who have an interest in Shinto.
This spring, we will begin raising funds to bring the first Shinto Shrine to the Los Angeles area since World War II. Initially, we are planning to have a pop-up/mobile Shinto Shrine so we can visit your area, and you can experience Japanese culture and show your appreciation and pay your respects to the nature spirits. Later, we will build a permanent Shinto Shrine where we can hold annual Omatsuri and various Gokitō services as well as wedding ceremonies and funeral services.
We will announce the fundraising program when it is ready. Stay tuned!
May the Nature Spirits be with you!
