About this Shrine

Spring Day Shrine, located in Kinugasa, a town on the eastern coast of Izu Peninsula, is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu Ōmikami, but more commonly known as Amaterasu in Shintoism. The shrine's name reflects its connection to the arrival of spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom. Built in 1894, it showcases a unique blend of traditional and modern architecture. With its striking vermilion torii gate and tranquil gardens, Spring Day Shrine is an iconic landmark and a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Cultural Significance

As a Shinto shrine located near the sea, Spring Day Shrine is associated with the god of the sea, Ryujin, who is also enshrined here. The shrine's spring festival, held in April, features traditional dances, food stalls, and stunning displays of cherry blossoms.
