About this Shrine

Kami Futsu no Okami Shrine, also known as the諏訪神社, is a Shinto shrine located in Yamanashi Prefecture, dedicated to the kami of the river that flows through it. The shrine is particularly famous for its beautiful gardens and traditional architecture. The shrine's history dates back to 712 when the Emperor Temmu sent an emissary named Nagaya no Osomo to pray at this sacred site.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is closely connected to the mythology of the Japanese water spirit, Kappa, which is said to inhabit the river and can be seen by visitors who bring offerings of sake, oranges, and cucumbers. The shrine's traditional architecture features a unique hipped roof and a sacred pond where visitors can purify themselves before praying.
