[Kanagawa Prefecture/Nishi Kano Shrine] Shrines facing each other across the sea

Kanae Shrines face each other across the sea of ​​Uraga. Of the two shrines, one to the east and one to the west, this is Nishikanae Shrine. Monkaku of Kyoto's Jingoji Temple enshrined Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, praying for the revival of the Genji clan. As this wish for the revival of the Genji clan was granted, the shrine came to be known as Kanae Daimyojin! One thing you shouldn't miss at Nishikanae Shrine is the carvings on the ceiling of the main hall. Rebuilt in 1842, the flower and bird carvings on the coffered ceiling of the worship hall, created by Awa sculptor Goto Toshibei, are simply magnificent. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine Name: Nishikane Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-1-13 Nishiuraga, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Keikyu Kurihama Station →🚏Kon'ya-cho →🚶‍♀️Approximately 1 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #SoloTravel #ShrineVisiting #ShrinesAndTemples #KanagawaTrip #KanagawaSightseeing
