About this Shrine

Rokujyoouji Shrine is a Shinto temple located in the city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to Rokujoyo, a minor kami believed to be the god of good fortune and prosperity. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a ruri-ya, a humble shrine built in the Heian period (794-1185 CE). Today, visitors can still see the remains of the original ruri-ya structure, which has been restored and integrated into the current shrine complex.

Cultural Significance

Rokujyoouji Shrine is said to be a sacred site where the spirits of ancestors and gods gather. During the annual Spring Festival (Matsuri), visitors can witness traditional dances, music performances, and rituals performed by the shrine's priestesses.
