About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Tokyo, Fumon Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in the city, with a history dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE). The shrine's name, Fumon, which translates to ' ancient mountain pass,' reflects its location along the old Kumagawa River. Dedicated to the Shinto deities of fertility and prosperity, Fumon Shrine is a popular destination for Tokyo residents seeking good fortune and blessings.

Cultural Significance

Fumon Shrine is closely associated with the legend of the Kumagawa River's origin, which tells the story of a great flood that created the river. According to myth, the river's kami, Fujin, controlled the water levels and protected the surrounding lands from harm. Visitors can still see the shrine's stone lanterns, adorned with symbols of the river's powers.
