[Kokuryo Shrine/Tokyo] Sennen-no-Fuji and a pop-up goshuin (shrine seal)

Kokuryo Shrine in Chofu, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 At that time, Kokuryo Shrine (Dairokutensha) and Shinmeisha (Yakumo Shrine and Sugimori Shinmeisha) were located near the Tama River. Around 1640, they were moved to the current Koshu Kaido, and when they were merged in 1963, the name of the shrine became Kokuryo Shrine. The shrine is very famous for its Sennen no Wisteria, which is said to be about 400 to 500 years old. It is a fairly large and tall wisteria trellis, about 4m tall and covering an area of ​​about 400㎡. According to the shrine, it is still growing and thriving today after thousands of years, making it a sacred tree that prolongs life, brings prosperity to descendants, ensures the prosperity of all things, and protects against disasters. The Wisteria Festival is also held here, and although the festival had already finished, I visited when the wisteria flowers were in full bloom. Special stamps, charms, and votive plaques are available only during this time, attracting many visitors. We also recommend the rare view of the wisteria trellis overlooking the trellis from the nearby pedestrian bridge! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Kokuryo Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-7-1 Kokuryo-cho, Chofu-shi, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Fuda Station → 6 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Chofu #Shrine lover #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Shrine worship
