About this Shrine

Two Valley Shrine, located in the scenic town of Sawayama in Shizuoka Prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the local valley and surrounding mountains. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a main hall covered by a curved roof known as an 'tsukubai'. Visitors can walk through the peaceful gardens and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, which is said to be influenced by the nearby Mt. Hakone.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is associated with the myth of the 'Ko-no-ha', or 'bird of heaven', which is said to have been born in the valley. According to legend, the bird brings blessings to the people of the region.
