A short history

Its exact foundation date is unknown. The shrine developed with beliefs connected to the Izu islands and sea routes, and Minamoto no Yoritomo worshipped here in the late Heian period. The present main shrine complex was completed in 1866; the main, connecting and worship halls became national Important Cultural Properties in 2000.

Before you go

The treasure museum’s display of the plum-design cosmetic box is a replica according to city tourism; do not assume the original National Treasure is always displayed. Parking fees and museum admission are separate from free ordinary worship.
