    This shrine, located about 10 minutes by car from Iwanuma Station that worships the god of golden snakes. It has been introduced by the media as a power spot for good fortune, and has gathered faith since long ago as a god of business prosperity, good fortune with money, warding off evil and bringing luck, as well as maritime safety. In the precincts there is a historic peony garden with 1,500 bushes planted, in the season of colorful wisteria and azalea in the middle of May, the “Flower Festival” is held and the shrine is crowded with many visitors.

    Miyagi Pref. Iwanumashi Inarichou 1-1
    Inari Shrine in the center of Iwanuma City, is located about an 11 minute walk from Iwanuma Station. It is regarded as one of Japan’s three main Inari shrines, and is also known as “Takekoma Inari”. The shrine was established in 842, when Ono no Takamura was sent as the new lord of Mutsu who also wrote for the ogura hyakunin-isshu poems. It is a popular shrine with the first or second most visitors worshipping the god of food, clothing and shelter for the first prayer of the year every year. In addition, the “Hatsu Uma Festival” is held for seven days from the first Uma (horse) day (the seventh day of the twelve horary signs) of February (lunar calendar). The festival represents the first sign of spring and the shrine bustles with many visitors from both within and outside the prefecture.

    Miyagi Natori-shi Takadateyoshida Tateyama 8
    A set of shrines and temples atop the peak of Mt. Takadate with the view of the Natori Plain, Sendai Port, Yuriage Beach, and the Sendai Airport spreading out before your eyes. There are six enshrined deities including HaguroHiryuu-no-Okami and Kumano Husumi-no-Okami. It's said that long ago an old woman Natori transferred of the main three Kumano deities to a new location, enshrined a division of the Nachi deity with the three Kumano deities together, and renamed the shrine the Kumano Nachi Jinja Shrine. On the shrine grounds is a large cedar tree that splits into two separate trunks and represents the ideal of bonds and has gained fame as parishioners pray to the tree for marriage. When the front shrine was being relocated in 1898 they discovered the Kumano Nachi Jinja Bronze Mirror which includes a bust of the Buddha and it dated back to the Kamakura/Muromachi period. It has been designated a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan with regards to artistic handicraft.

  • Shiogama-jinja Shrine

    Miyagi Pref. Watarigunwatarichou Okumakouya Maehara 65
    This shrine is near the Tori-no-umi Parking Area. Its primary deities are Shiotsuchiojinokami, Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto, and Futsunushi-no-mikoto. In 1615 the wandering samurai Ito Saburozaemon first taught salt making in the Sendai area and was appointed the guardian of the tradition. In that role, it's said he started the spread of Shiogama-jinja Shrine in the region. It's located in an idyllic rural environment and features a long walkway. In the wake of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, the pine trees surrounding the shrine perished, but have been replaced by tairyo-zakura cherry trees.
