- Kanagawa Pref. Kouzagunsamukawamachi Miyayama 3916
- This shrine in Miyayama, Samukawa Town, Koza County, Kanagawa Prefecture has a roughly 1,600 history. Called Sagaminokuni Ichinomiya, its guardian deity is the only in the nation to protect from calamity whatever direction it comes from.

I didn’t find this shrine worth going out of your way to see. I was finished in 10 minutes. Try Mishima or Hakone for a less right-wing oriented experience. To see the garden at the back, it seems...

A statue of Benten with eight arms (which has been designated as an Important Cultural Property by Kanagawa Prefecture), and a statue of Benten with a Biwa lute, are on public display in the Hoan-den hall.

Be prepared for a trek - this series of three shrines are located progressively higher and higher on the Enoshima Island hill. The seemingly endless climbing of stairs is worth it though! The shrines...

- Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 2-3-8
- Located on the grounds of Enoshima-jinja Shrine on the island of Enoshima, this palatial shrine was founded in 1206 by Minamoto no Sanetomo. Dedicated to Tagitsuhime-no-mikoto, the current Shinto-style hall was rebuilt after repairs were conducted in 1675 and 1976. Because the shrine is located on the lowest area of Enoshima, which has many hills and valleys, it is also the Lower Shrine.

They way to the shrine, between the two archways, is a road flanked by tacky souvenir shops and food stalls. If you are more interested in the spiritual, then put your head down and press on.

道路が交差している角に、鳥居が見えてきました。”白旗神社”の石碑が立っています。 周りは交通渋滞が起こりそうなにぎやかなところにあります。 この神社は”源義経”が祀られているそうです。 境内にはその義経と弁慶の銅像が建てられていました。その横には、”伝源義経首洗井戸”がありました。 奥州平泉で自害下義経の首が、この地に流れ着き、洗い清められ葬られたと伝えられたそうです。 本当！ 本殿は石段...

江の島には多くの神社があり口コミ書くのも調べないといけません。上手く書けないので資料抜粋します「江島神社の境内社。腰越の小動神社に祀られていた社が大波で壊され、御窟の前の海中に沈んでいた御神体を漁師が拾い、ここへ祀ったといわれています。」滞在時間10分くらい。

江島神社辺津宮のすぐ隣にある八角形のお堂です。 奉安殿は法隆寺の夢殿を模して造られたと言われるだけあって美しい建物ですが、2015年に改修されたもので歴史は感じません。 堂内には日本三大弁財天の一つである「妙音弁財天」が安置されていて、芸能や音楽の上達にご利益があるそうです。 拝観料は200円、堂内は撮影禁止でした。

- Enoshima-jinja Shrine Okutsumiya
- Travel / Tourism
- Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 2-3-8
- The Okutsumiya is a Shinto shrine affiliated with Enoshima-jinja Shrine and is dedicated to the goddess Tagirihime no Mikoto. The original main shrine building burned down in 1841 and was rebuilt the following year in 1842. The highlight of the shrine is the painting of the “Happonirami no kame” (“All-seeing Turtle”) depicted on the ceiling of the front shrine. No matter from what angle you look at it, the turtle seems to be staring back at you. There is also an interesting stone block monument on the approach to the shrine carved with 36 monkeys.

- Kanagawa Pref. Fujisawashi Enoshima 2-3-8
- It is one of the three main shrines of Eshima Shrine, known as one of the three major Benzaiten shrines in Japan, and is said to have been built by Jikaku Daishi in the third year of Ninju (853). The bright vermilion shrine pavilion and the seasonal flower-and-bird paintings on the ceiling of the hall of worship are worth seeing. The presiding deity is a goddess named Ichisunshima-hiru-no-mikoto, who has long been worshipped as one of the goddesses of the sea.

小田急線の鵠沼海岸駅から歩いて７-８分ほどで、赤い大きな通りが目に飛び込んできます。鵠沼海浜公園など、鵠沼の海までは歩いて５分と、湘南の潮風を感じられる神社です。お守りを売っている社務所には、御朱印の案内は出ていませんが、聞いてみると、見事な達筆のお朱印を頂けました。

拝殿（神楽殿）が撤去されているため、参拝時には本殿をそのまま拝見することができました。観光ルートから少し離れていますが、三宮巡りの帰路に立ち寄ってみては如何でしょうか?

平塚の相模川近くにある「前鳥神社」に参拝をしました。厚木に向かう街道から入る時に、入り口を間違えのか、狭い道が続き苦労しました。駐車場もよくわかりません。神社は緑が多く、境内が広くて明るい神社です。本殿は所々金色が入り荘厳な雰囲気が感じられます。無事参拝ができました。

ここには、旧東海道に松並木があります。”八丁松並木”杜呼ばれていて、上人朝恵が、江戸時代はじめ（1650年頃）に東海道（現国道1号）までの約420間（約760m）に松を植え、参道を整備したそうです。八幡宮の入口には、石の太鼓橋があります。鳥居をくぐりますと、参道がまっすぐ伸びています。 この参道は ”八丁参道”です。 石灯籠と松の木がきれいに並んでいますね。いい雰囲気です。xa0一般的に、八幡神と...

何時もの厳島神社に初詣にでかけた。コロナ対策が徹底され、手を清める手水舎に蓋がされ、賽銭前にガラガラとならす本坪鈴（ほんつぼすず）と鈴緒（すずお）が取り外されていた。 そもそも密になる可能性は高く無いが、しっかり対策するのは大事かと。

旧平塚宿の守り神です。その昔、源頼朝が馬入川にかかる橋の供養の祈願。その後、橋が完成したことでこの神社を創建したそうです。境内は掃き清められており、清々しく感じられる神社でした。

茅ヶ崎市内の小和田という場所にある神社です。茅ヶ崎市内といっても辻堂の方が近いくらいの場所ですが。国道一号線と松林通りの中間くらいにあるので静かな雰囲気です。創建などの詳細はわかりませんでしたが、江戸時代よりも古い時代に創建されているようです。

Kanagawa Areas
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.
