About this Shrine

Located in the city of Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, Tsukishima Shrine is a revered Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the sea and prosperity.

Visitors can experience the peaceful atmosphere of the shrine grounds, which feature a serene pond and beautifully manicured gardens.

Cultural Significance

Tsukishima Shrine is closely associated with the mythology of Kanagawa Prefecture, where it is said that the god of the sea, known as Kanezaki no Kamikaze, granted the land fertility in exchange for human sacrifices.
