About this Shrine

Located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Kuno-aza-machi Shinto Shrine is a lesser-known but intriguing Shinto site dedicated to the kami Ise-no-kami, the deity from the famous Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture. The shrine's architecture and design reflect the traditional Heian period style, with a simple yet elegant wooden torii gate and a serene garden. Visitors can experience the tranquility of this rural Shinto site and learn about its unique connections to the Ise region.

Cultural Significance

As an Ise-den shrine, Kuno-aza-machi Shinto Shrine is notable for its association with the Ise Grand Shrine, one of Japan's most revered Shinto sites. The shrine also hosts the annual 'Ise-sha no Hi' festival in late September, which honors the kami with traditional dances and offerings.
