Amazing!

Samukawa Shrine is located near the Miyayama station,the JR Sagami line. This shrine is famous of protecting from accidents. I enjoyed seeing "Noh or Kyogen" on summer evening. It was a great experience.

Famous for invocation by the Shinto priest.And don't miss the beautiful garden.

This is the one of the oldest shrine in Japan. Many Japanese people come here in the New Year to be given the invocation by the priest. So, it would be better not to go there in January. The best season will be spring or...More
