About this Shrine

Located in the mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture, Kumomi-Sengen Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami (deities) of the region. The shrine's name, 'Kumomi', refers to the mountainous terrain surrounding it, and 'Sengen' means 'origin' or 'source'. According to local legend, the shrine was built by the imperial family during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), and is one of several shrines in the Sengen network that commemorates the founding of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The shrine is known for its beautiful autumn foliage and tranquil atmosphere, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers.
