About this Shrine

Gold Pavilion Shrine, located in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a prominent Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the sea, Ryujin, and the god of wealth and prosperity, Fujin. Built in 1629, it has undergone several renovations while maintaining its original architectural style, which reflects the Heian period. The shrine's design features a unique five-story pagoda and a grand hall, both decorated with vibrant red lacquerwork.

Cultural Significance

As an important Shinto shrine in Yokosuka, Gold Pavilion Shrine is closely associated with the local fishing industry and is believed to protect fishermen from storms. During the annual 'Fujin no Matsuri' festival, locals dress up in traditional costumes and reenact ancient rituals to honor the god of wealth.
