Izumotaisha Sagamibunshi
The shrine enshrines Okuninushi Okami, the deity of Izumo Taisha, Shimane Prefecture. It formally became a branch of the Izumo Taisha sect in 1888. It has a unique wooden shrine building that combines Taisha-zukuri and Gongen-zukuri styles and features a long hall called the "wing hall of offerings" (Tsubasa-Heiden). It is known as the "Izumo of Kanto." The 1,000-year-old zelkova tree towers over the grounds rich in nature and is also famous for the Hadano spring. The "Yuzuri water," drawn from 50m below the forest, is also very popular among visitors (it is drinkable, and health inspections are carried out yearly). Seasonal events are often held, and many worshippers come throughout the year, as well as visitors for Goshuin (shrine stamps).
