About this Shrine

The Twenty-Second Shrine, located in Kanagawa Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the 22nd ward of Yokohama City. The shrine's architecture reflects the Edo period style, with a traditional gate and a large torii gate. According to local legend, the shrine was built during the Nara period, but its current structure dates back to the Edo period.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is famous for its annual 'Saien' festival, which takes place in February and features traditional dances and offerings to the kami. The shrine is also known for its unique 'hagoromo' (bird's nest) torii gate, which is said to resemble a bird's nest.
