About this Shrine

Resha no Iki Shrine, dedicated to the god of prosperity and good fortune, is located in the town of Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. The shrine's name, 住吉分社 (Toshigaya Fusoshin), roughly translates to 'Fusoshi at the East Gate.' Fusoshi was a kami associated with purification and protection, particularly for travelers. Today, the shrine serves as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in local communities.

Cultural Significance

The shrine's architecture is influenced by traditional Edo-period (1603-1868) design, featuring a distinctive tiled roof and a large torii gate. During the annual 'Resha no Iki Matsuri' festival, visitors can participate in purification rituals and enjoy traditional performances and food.
