About this Shrine

Located in the city of Yokohama, Shonan-Ima Shrine is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu (Tenryu-ō no kami) and the rice god Inari Okami. The shrine's architecture reflects a mix of traditional Japanese styles, with a distinctive curved roofline characteristic of Kamakura-period construction. Visitors can explore the shrine's serene gardens, including a sacred tree believed to be over 1,000 years old.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, Shonan-Ima Shrine is closely tied to the mythology of the sun goddess Amaterasu. The shrine also hosts an annual Inari Festival (Inari Matsuri) in May, where devotees offer prayers and gifts to Inari Okami.
