The hidden power of the mysterious "boar's eye pattern"
When you visit the main shrine of Kurimiya Shrine, the first thing you should pay attention to is the cute heart-shaped pattern that is displayed in the center of the top of the main shrine. This is one of the traditional patterns that have been passed down since ancient Japan, known as the "Boon Eye Pattern." This pattern, which appears to be heart-shaped at first glance, literally resembles a wild boar's eye, and has been said to have the meaning of warding off evil and warding off evil since ancient times.
Its history is very long, and it has been confirmed that the boar eye pattern was already used in the tsuba sword excavated from ancient tombs from the 6th to 7th centuries. Due to its bravery and powerful nature, boars have long been thought to have the power to exorcise evil spirits and prevent disasters.

When visiting the main shrine, be sure to search for this adorable heart-shaped pattern and experience its mysterious power. You will surely be able to visit the shrine with a calm and calm spirit.

The "General Incident" is a miraculous story about fighting over fishing rights and protecting the Great Camphor
A large camphor tree that is over 2,000 years old towers towers up in the grounds of Kurimiya Shrine. Its overwhelming presence envelops visitors with deep emotion. However, this large camphorse has a sad history of being on the verge of being logged in the past.
The time was the Kaei era, at the end of the Edo period. At the time, a fierce battle was rioting over fishing rights in Atami. In order to raise legal costs, the fishermen decide to cut down the bush camphorse that grows within the shrine grounds. First, five relatively young camphorse trees were cut down, but just as they were about to put an axe into the large camphorse, an amazing event occurred.
An old man with gray hair appeared and tried to protect the Great Camphor with open arms. The old man may have been the shrine's priest or the incarnation of the camphor spirit. When the logger swings the axe down, it breaks in half. This miraculous event caused the loggers to be scared and halted the logging of the large camphorse. People believed this was a godly message, and the Great Clan escaped the danger of logging.
This event was passed down as a "General Guideline Incident" and is still being carefully passed down among local people today. Okusu, enshrined in the back left of the main hall, survived this incident and continues to live with great force. As you walk slowly around the Great Camphor and experience its vitality and mysterious power.

"Benzaiten, a good fortune and promotion" that will give you the benefits of good fortune and promotion
Inside the grounds of Kurimiya Shrine, "Kaiun Descent Benzaiten" is enshrined on the right side of the main shrine. Benzaiten is a goddess who controls music, entertainment and wealth, and is said to be particularly beneficial for prosperity in business and improving financial luck. The Benzaiten at Kurimiya Shrine has also been added to the benefits of good fortune and promotion, and many visitors come to pray for success.
Around this Benzaiten is covered with stones called Izu stone. This Izu stone is the same stone used in the moat of Edo Castle, and was once cut out from one side of the Izu Peninsula and transported by boat to Edo Castle. Due to its strength and durability, Izu stone is valued for building strong stone walls, and most of the stone walls in Edo Castle are made of Izu stone.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who wished to win in the battle with the Toyotomi family, focused on building a strong stone wall and focused on the quality of the Izu stone. The Izu Peninsula has long been known as a stone production area, and its high quality has been widely known. Furthermore, by using a ship, it was decided that the use of Izu stone was adopted, as it would be possible to transport a larger amount of stones to Edo more efficiently than overland.
When visiting Benzaiten, be sure to try this Izu stone as well. Feel the strength of the stones that supported the history of Edo Castle and pray for good fortune and success, and your wish will surely come true.

"Okasu" sacred tree over 2000 years old - a power spot filled with energy for life
The greatest attraction of Kimiya Shrine is the large camphor tree, which is over 2000 years old. After visiting the main shrine, you will see a giant sacred tree as you pass through the path on your left. Its overwhelming presence makes visitors speechless.
Okusu is also designated as a national natural monument and boasts the highest age of Honshu. The trunk is 23.9 meters thick, and you'll be amazed at how strong it is. A mysterious atmosphere wafts around the Great Camphor, leaving you feeling as if you were wandering into another world.
It may be a little difficult to understand, but in the back right of the Great Camphor Shrine, a dragon rises up, and in the upper right you can see a snake wrapped around it. (Some of the trees look like that.) This is a coincidence produced by nature, but it further enhances the mystique of the Great Crown.

Daikan is worshiped as a symbol of "unageous and longevity" and "good health", and it is said that a circle around it will extend its lifespan by a year. It is also said that if someone who has a wish recites a wish in their heart without telling anyone, they will be able to organize their wishes by going around the Great Camphor counterclockwise.
As I circulate around the large camphorse, I picked up the branches of camphorse that had fallen and smelled them, and it smelled like the insect repellent from a chest of drawers. This is due to the ingredients found in camphorse and is said to have a relaxing effect. Also, let's try touching the area directly behind the Oukasu. You should be able to feel the extremely strong power flowing in slowly.
The air floating around the large camphor tree, which is likely to be about 4.5 in diameter, has a tingly vital energy, resembling low-frequency waves and irritating the skin throughout the body. This is proof that ancient giant trees have spiritual power over the years and store spiritual energy like batteries. If you slowly circumnavigate around the tree to the left, it will cause a resonance phenomenon with the camphor tree, and the spiritual energy of the camphor tree will flow into your body. The cloudy heart clears, and the energy flows all over my body. It's truly a life charger in nature.
A clear stream flows beside the large camphorse, and it is located in a very pleasant place, cool even in the summer. After visiting the main shrine, be sure to visit this large camphorse and experience its power with your whole body. This is highly recommended for those who want to improve their health luck and change their luck with good fortune.

Create an environment where you can visit the shrine in a heartfelt way, and enjoy a blissful moment with the tea ceremony "Hoko"
Kurimiya Shrine is promoting the "Creating an environment where people can visit the shrine in a heartfelt manner," and as part of this, the "Hoko" tea ceremony tea ceremony where you can relax after visiting the shrine has been established. The interior of the restaurant has a modern Japanese atmosphere and is a calm space that is perfect for soothing the fatigue of visiting the shrine.
There are also spots that are perfect for social media, such as smartphone stands installed at the entrance and the grounds, and fallen leaves are laid out in a heart shape for shooting. There are many different ways to make it understandable that Kimiya Shrine is extremely popular among women in their 20s to 40s.

By the way, Hokou is said to mean the etiquette of playing the drums at the signal to gather when a festival begins. It is a wish that many people will visit.
At the saryo "Hoko" you can enjoy a variety of menus, including "Rifuku Sweets." After visiting the shrine, be sure to stop by and enjoy a blissful moment while enjoying delicious sweets.
