About this Shrine

Spring Day Shrine, located in the scenic town of Fujikawaguchi in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and the storm god Susanoo. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a tranquil garden and a distinctive curved roof. Spring Day Shrine is particularly famous for its beautiful cherry blossom trees, which bloom annually in late March.

Cultural Significance

As a Shinto shrine, Spring Day Shrine is closely tied to local folklore and mythology. The shrine's name refers to the Japanese proverb 'haru ni tsuki no hi o', which roughly translates to 'the day of the full moon in spring'. During cherry blossom season, locals hold a traditional festival called 'Hanami' to celebrate the beauty of nature.
