    Kanagawa Pref. Kawasakishi Kawasaki-ku Daishiekimae 2-13-16
    This Shinto shrine is about a one-minute walk from Kawasaki-Daishi Station. One of the sanctuaries on the grounds of Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine, it's known locally as Kanamara-sama. It honors the deities Kanayama-hiko and Kanayama-bime, who legend says cared for the goddess Izanami-no-Mikoto whose lower body was badly burned when she gave birth to a fire deity. As such, worshiping here is believed to ease childbirth and help heal afflictions of the lower body. Shrine festivals include the Suicho-no-Matsuri which recreates a historic drinking contest, the Fuigo Festival to pray for prosperity among blacksmiths and hardware merchants, and the annual Kanamara Festival, where patrons carry portable shrines in the shape of giant phalluses.

    This is not the first fertility shrine Ive visited in Japan. I like to seek out odd attractions and this one came up. I visited it while on my way to another temple. Its worth a quick 5 minutes...

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Nakahara-ku Shinmarukohigashi 2-980

    First things first, this is not the Kyoto Inari shrine of the same name. This one lies in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, near Shin-Maruko station. Nonetheless its a quiet gem near a bustling shopping...

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Kawasaki-ku Miyamotocho 7-7

    川崎駅から空くし離れているが徒歩15分くらいかな。 第一京浜沿いに神社を見つけて参拝しました。 規模は小さいが立派な神社。御神木も大事に囲われてて鳥居は大きい。 お風呂屋さんや競馬場の近くにあり歴史を感じる神社。

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Takatsu-ku Mizonokuchi 2-25-1

    I came here in November and there were kids clad in traditional kimono to celebrate Shichi-go-san. Not much is known about its origin but it existed as early as 1709.

    Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Asao-ku Ozenji Higashi 5-chome 46-15

    琴平神社には本殿と儀式殿が道路を挟んで分かれた場所にあります。 本殿は小山の上に本殿一つだけですが、儀式殿側には色々とあるので楽しめました。 平時であれば、どちらも駐車には困りません。

    ランニングしている際に通りかかりました。表の鳥居は大きな通り側ではなくて裏側の方にあります。すぐ脇に県道３号線津久井道の陸橋があるのでこれが建設された際に表参道が失われてしまったのかな。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
