About this Shrine

Fuwa-sa Shrine, located in the heart of Minami-Atsugi City, is a revered Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami Sugawara-no-Mikoto and its patron deity, Fukuzawa, a local yokai. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design with a main hall built during the Edo period (1603-1867). Visitors can explore the surrounding gardens and scenic trails, offering a peaceful escape from city life.

Cultural Significance

As a local yokai, Fukuzawa is believed to have influenced the shrine's name and traditions. The shrine also hosts an annual Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival (Hanami), which honors Sugawara-no-Mikoto's patronage of the arts and literature.
