Japan's best luck and power spot

Izusan

Shrine

Izuyama Shrine is also known as the origin of the place name Izu.

It is known as the shrine where Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, prayed for the restoration of the Genji clan, and revered Izusan Shrine as the general protection of the eight states of Kansai.In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who worshiped Minamoto no Yoritomo, visited Izusan Shrine and worshiped it as thegod of good luck and conquering the country'' because he ruled the country.

It is also known as the shrine of "matchmaking" as it is the place where Minamoto no Yoritomo and Masako Hojo were tied together.

There is a vast site of about 130,000 square meters on a hill with a panoramic view of Atami, and the main shrine is located at the end of the pilgrimage route, which is about an hour's walk up a mountain path from the main shrine. If you go down the stairs toward the sea, you will find the ruins of Shimomiya, and if you go further down to Izu Beach, you will find a hot spring bath.

We look forward to your visit to Izusan Shrine, one of the best power spots in the Kanto region.
