Izuyama Shrine - The breath of the gods that weave good luck and matchmaking

Izusan Jinja is an ancient shrine that has been called since ancient times by various names, such as Izu Onmiyaki, Izu Daigongen, Sotoudaigongen, and Sotouzan. It is revered by people as a god of good fortune, harmony, and matchmaking, and its history is said to date back to the time of Emperor Kosho, the fifth emperor of Japan (5th century BC to 4th century BC). Embraced by the rich nature of the Izu Peninsula, this place brings out the magmatic energy of the Earth, is truly a sacred place for fire and water, and is known as a power spot that will bring deep emotion and healing to visitors.

The power of Izu Omikami, which has been alive since the mythological era

The main shrine of Izuyama Shrine is enshrined with a wooden statue of Oiso, the largest god in Japan during the mid-Heian period, and represents the image of Izu Omikami, which appeared in the sea in Oiso, Sagami Province during the period of Emperor Ojin, and was reportedly enshrined at Nikkanayama during the period of Emperor Nintoku. The source of Izu Ogami's power is the sacred bath "Sururiyu" that gushes out. The name Soutougongen (Hashiri Yugongen) is the name that deified this sacred bath, and the place name Izu is said to have been born from the word Yuizuru (Yuizuru) god. The power of Izu Omikami extends to Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Hatsushima, and other islands of Izu, and shows its vastness.

History as a spiritual site

The "Ryojin Hisho" compiled by Goshirakawa-in, Izuyama Shrine is sung as one of the "all-sided spiritual sites," and in the late Heian period it became famous as a mountain sect shrine, and became a famous dojo for studying Kensichi Shinto. There is a legend that Kukai also practiced, and it can be seen that his spiritual experience was widely known. It is linked to the Kumano faith, and subsidiaries are enshrined throughout the country, demonstrating the spread of this faith.

Masayago Katsukatsu Hasuki Hiten Niten Ninja Mikoto (Masayakakatsu Hayahime's Oshiho Mikoto)

Torman: Takuha Taichihime Mikoto

Of particular note is Shoyago Katsukatsu Hayashi Niten Ninja Homison. His name contains a deep and powerful message.

"If you are not in a state of mind, form, and mind, and when the day comes, the day will come, but it will be a day, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair, and it will be a moment of despair,

This song teaches the importance of cherishing an honest heart and living correctly. It suggests that if the mind is not distorted, we can overcome all difficulties, and guide the lost people, enrich the nation, and make people prosper, just as the sun shines through the darkness.

The mystery of fire and water is controlled by two red and white dragons

According to the lucky charm of Izuyama Shrine, "Suyuyama Engi" (established during the Kamakura period), two red and white dragons lie in harmony in harmony at the underground of Mt. Toizu. Its tail is soaked in Hakone's lake water (Lake Ashi), and its head is located underground in the Nikkinrin (Mount Izu), and its hot springs are said to be in the two ears and the nostrils of this dragon. The two dragons spew in their energy and intersect with the red and white seawater. This is what Nishikiura (now Atami Nishikigaura) is said to refer to.

The two red and white dragons are the enshrined deity, Tenninhomikoto (Ameno Nigi Mikoto), and the guardian deity of hot springs, which represents fire and white represents water, and creates hot springs (hot springs) using the power of fire and water. The red and white two dragons are also applied to the water in the grounds, the shrine buildings and amulets, and are the symbol of Izuyama Shrine. This legend symbolically expresses the characteristics of Izuyama Shrine, which are the fusion of fire and water, giving a deep impression on people.

The vast sacred realm and the majesticity of the main shrine

The main shrine is located at a point 170 meters above sea level with a panoramic view of the Sagami Sea. The temple grounds are part of Kogoi Forest, and boasts a size of approximately 40,000 tsubo. This place was once called Kamimiya. After descending the stairs, you will find the former Shimomiya site at just under 50 meters above sea level, and if you go down to Izuhama, you will find a running bath. There is also a main shrine in the mountains 380 meters above sea level. The mountains of Izu are connected to Mt. Hikaru and Mt. Iwato, and are the key to the vast sacred realm that spans the three countries of Izu, Sagami and Suruga, and its majesticity overwhelms visitors.

Izuyama Shrine as a power spot

Izuyama Shrine and its approach (the road from the Rainyu to the Hongu Shrine) are truly power spots that benefit from the magma of the Earth. When you walk along the long approach, you can feel warmth from your feet, just like you're taking a rock bath, and it is said that walking will help you relieve fatigue and make you feel energized. The energy of this land has the power to heal and energize the mind and body of people.

The deep bond between Minamoto Yoritomo and Izuyama Shrine

A long time ago, Minamoto Yoritomo was captured by Taira Kiyomori during the Heiji Rebellion, and was exiled to Hirugakojima in Izu with the advice of Taira Kiyomori's stepmother. However, even in exile, he was allowed to hunt and exchange letters, and lived a very flexible life.

Yoritomo studied under Izu Gongen Ashari Kakufuchi (brothers of Kato Keiren), and took the vows of the 1,000 volumes of the Lotus Sutra, praying for the revival of the Genji era. However, something urgent happened, and he asked Izu Gongen if he could go out to battle in 800 volumes, and launched the launch and won. Meanwhile, Izu Gongen held prayers for victory at Yoritomo, protecting Hojo Masako. Hakone Gongen (Son Yukimi) also supported the revival of the Genji clan.

To repay this kind of favor, Yoritomo, who founded the Kamakura Shogunate, made the official event of the shogunate to visit Izu Gongen and Hakone Gongen, and the Izu Gongen became a venerable shrine directly under the shogunate. Since then, the shrine has been highly religious by successive shoguns of Kamakura, and has become a prosperous shrine in the Kanto region and a shrine for praying for victory.

After Minamoto Yoritomo became the Shogunate of the Seii Taisho, he contributed many shrine territory to protect the Kanpaku states, which represent the highest reverence of the shogunate. He was also deeply worshiped by the later Hojo clan during the Warring States period, and by the Tokugawa Shogun during the Edo period. When a samurai makes an oath, the name of Izuyama Shrine is always included as a shrine to prove the oath.

Weaving history and passing it on to the present day

Even after the name was changed to Izuyama Shrine due to the Order of Separation of Shinto and Buddhas during the Meiji Restoration, on January 13th, 1980, the then Crown Prince and later Emperor Showa visited the shrine, and on September 12th, 1980, His Highness Prince Hirohito, Prince of Crown Prince Hirohito, visited the shrine. This is proof that Izuyama Shrine has been revered by the Imperial family for ages.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who respected Minamoto no Yoritomo, was said to have taken to Atami before the Sekigahara battle and received the power of the hot springs to unify the country. Minamoto Yoritomo was the first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate to establish the Kamakura shogunate, a government of samurai. Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first shogun of the Edo Shogunate. It seems that the secret of good fortune and trade-in-the-world is hidden at Izuyama Shrine, which has become the key to leading both to victory.

The not-so-sized grounds have a variety of attractions, each with its history and story.
