Iikura Kumano Shrine

Add to MyRoute
Translated from Japanese by

It is said that the solicitation and auspiciousness of Kumano Shrine is unknown because the old records were destroyed in a fire in the 16th year of Genroku. It seems that the number of people who visit Kumano Shrine has increased because the three-legged Yatagarasu has become the symbol of the J.League, and it is said that there are more family members and supporters than the players themselves. The official "Soccer Guard" of the Football Association is white and blue. It shows its presence with Ebisu's clay bells.

One of the seven lucky gods of Minato Ward, Ebisu-sama, is enshrined. Ebisu holds a fishing rod in his right hand and a sea bream in his left. Originally, it was a fisherman's god and was worshipped as a god that brings good fishing and safe navigation. As commerce flourished, he came to be worshipped as the god of business prosperity. According to Shimazaki Fujimura's "Around Iikura" when he lived in Iikura, this area was a very good walking path and was one of Fujimura's favorite places.
