Izumo Shrine Sagamibunshi

Various seasonal events, such as a festival to usher in luck (Fukumukae-sai) during New Year's, a plum festival in spring, a Chinese lantern plant market, and a morning glory market are held and the atmosphere is very lively. In the premises, there is a spring known as the “Water of the 1000-Year Forest” (Sennen no mori no mizu), providing moisture to the planted trees. When summer comes around, there will be fireflies dancing around the spring, creating a mystical scene as if from a fairytale. There are also many other springs around the city.
