About this Shrine

Located in the scenic town of Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kozugatake Yari Shrine is dedicated to the mountain spirit kami, Hikoboshi no Okami, and the legendary swordsmith deity, Yamatotakeru. The shrine's name, meaning 'mountain edge shrine,' reflects its location at the foot of Mount Kozugatake. While the shrine's origins date back to the Edo period, few historical records remain, leaving behind only a rich cultural heritage.

Cultural Significance

Hikoboshi no Okami, often depicted as a spirit with two lanterns guiding lovers across the river that separates them, is said to reside at this shrine. The shrine's architecture reflects its Edo-period origins, with a simple yet elegant torii gate and traditional Shinto buildings.
