    Kanagawa Isehara-shi Sannomiya 1472
    Sannomiya Hibita Shrine is located in the Sannomiya area of the city of Isehara in Kanagawa Prefecture and is dedicated to both the god Toyokumune-no-Mikoto, said to be part of the earliest generation of gods, and the god Sakatoki-no-Kami, the god of sake. This has made it a popular destination for sake brewers. It attracts large numbers of worshipers, since it is believed to be a good place to pray for fulfillment of wishes, true love, or a marriage partner. It is one of the five shrines in the former province of Sagami that participates in the Kokufu Festival every year on May 5.

    大変歴史のある神社で、天平の時代から子宝、安産に霊験ありとされたそうです。 拝殿の前に立つ左右の柱の、人の胸当たりの高さ部分が削られて細くなっていますが、昔、参拝者が安産のお守りとして削って持ち帰ったためだそうです。 かなり細くなっているので危険なのでしょう、今、柱の四隅は鉄のアングルで補強されています。 比比多神社には、歌川国経作の花魁を描いた絵馬が飾られています。神社に花魁、珍しいですね。

    Kanagawa Atsugi-shi Nanasawa
    "A temple on the upper reaches of the Osawa River dedicated to the deity Benzaiten. It got its name because the cascade basin there is shaped like a large kettle (ogama). Benzaiten was enshrined there in order to pray for rain. Thought by some to be a particularly effective ""power spot"" (place of mystical or healing earth energy), it's also one of the city's coolest places in the summer. There's also a stone statue of a serpent with a human head. Legend says that Benzaiten had a serpent as a messenger, and at some point, the deity and the messenger became one."

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.
