Shoka Kumano Shrine

The ancient shrine of the early Nara period. The god of the gods is three pillars, such as Iyin Nami Taken [Izanami no Mikoto], and has been revered since ancient times as the base of the Kumano religion in the Kanto region and as the sōjen-mori of northern Yokohama. The Shōzō was sent as a guide during the Jinmu Tōshō (Yatagarasu). Because it is the same emblem of the Japanese national football team, it is also known as "soccer shrine" in recent years, and a talisman recognized by the Japan Football Association is sold. There are many traditional festivals, such as the Tsutsumi Porridge Shrine in January and the Natsugoshi Great Exorcism in June. The Kumano Museum, which displays local materials and the shrine treasures and documents, is also attached.
