In 1870, nestled in Fussa, Tokyo, the Kumagawa Shrine was reborn. Originally known as Nuka Daimyojin Shrine, Kumagawa Shrine holds a history reaching back to the early Heian period. Imagine a tribe of iron-makers, revering a white snake deity as the god of iron. They chose this very spot, the Kumagawa Shrine’s location, for their worship. The main building here is remarkable. It’s the second oldest among existing shrine main buildings in Tokyo. This ancient structure has witnessed centuries of change, from Edo period rituals to modern-day prayers. Kumagawa Shrine isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a tangible link to the past, designated as a cultural property by both Tokyo and Fussa. As you explore the grounds, seek out the “Fussa Seven Deities of Good Fortune” statues. These figures offer another layer of spiritual significance to this already rich historical site. Kumagawa Shrine stands as a testament to the enduring power of tradition, offering a peaceful sanctuary amidst the vibrant energy of Tokyo.
