Samukawa Shrine
The only guardian shrine in Japan dedicated to happo-yoke (protection from all directions).
Situated in Kanagawa, Samukawa Shrine is a prestigious ancient shrine famous for 'Happo-yoke', a unique blessing that neutralizes bad luck coming from any direction and turns it into good fortune.
神社歷史緣起
With a history of over 1,600 years, Samukawa Shrine is mentioned in the ancient records of the Emperor Yuryaku's reign. It is the 'Ichinomiya' (First Shrine) of Sagami Province (modern-day Kanagawa). Historical figures like Minamoto no Yoritomo and Takeda Shingen were devout worshippers.
This shrine is unique in its focus on 'Happo-yoke'. In Japanese geomancy/astrology, 'Happo-fusagari' is a period when one is blocked in all directions and prone to misfortune. Samukawa Shrine is the specialist for clearing these blockages.

境內看點
The shrine grounds are spacious and maintain a dignified atmosphere. The sanctuary was rebuilt relatively recently in heavy Hinoki cypress, giving it a majestic and fresh feel. The 'Happo-yoke' talisman is a must-get for those feeling stuck in life.
Behind the main hall lies the 'Kantake-yama' (Sacred Garden), a beautiful Japanese garden previously closed to the public but now open to those who receive a prayer service.
重大祭典
The 'Hamari-sai' on July 15th is a dynamic beach festival where the mikoshi is carried into the sea at Chigasaki Beach to purify it. The shrine is extremely busy during the New Year period with millions of visitors.
