About this Shrine

Dayeh-jinsha is a Shinto shrine located in the city of Hakone, Shizuoka Prefecture, dedicated to the deity Fujin, the god of wind and storms, and Hikoboshi, the spirit of the hanging bridge of the dead. The shrine's architecture reflects its origins as a temple during the Edo period, with a traditional Japanese-style hall and a distinctive red roof. Visitors can experience the unique charm of Hakone's natural beauty by taking a stroll through the surrounding forests or enjoying a scenic view from the shrine's grounds.

Cultural Significance

Dayeh-jinsha is closely tied to the mythology of Fujin and Hikoboshi, who are said to play a significant role in the annual Obon festival, which honors the spirits of one's ancestors. During this time, visitors can participate in traditional rituals and ceremonies to ensure the safe passage of their loved ones.
