About this Shrine

楠神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the sugi tree, a sacred tree in Japanese mythology. Located in the city of Hadano, Shizuoka Prefecture, the shrine is famous for its beautiful garden and ancient tree with a trunk circumference of over 10 meters. Visitors can experience the tranquility of the shrine by strolling along the winding paths lined with maple trees and admiring the stunning autumn foliage.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is famous for its association with the legend of Matsukura Shigemasa, a samurai who was said to have been inspired by the beauty of the sugi tree to become a great warrior. The shrine also hosts an annual autumn festival (Koyo matsuri) in November to celebrate the changing colors of the leaves.
