Kumano Shrine

#FuriTabi #KawagoeSightseeing Kawagoe Kumano Shrine is a shrine dedicated to good fortune, matchmaking, and protection from evil spirits, which was separated from Kishu Kumano in 1590. Inside the shrine, there is a pond for washing coins and a stone-paved path for stepping on. The shrine's crest is the three-legged "Yatagarasu," a messenger of Kumano Okami. It is also said to be a bird that calls for dawn and a bird that calls for the sun, and is widely worshiped as a sacred bird that leads to a world of hope. An interesting spot where you can walk barefoot and stimulate the pressure points on the soles of your feet to pray for health benefits. Access 8 minutes on foot from the exit of Hon-Kawagoe Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line / 12 minutes on foot from the exit of Kawagoe-shi Station on the Tobu Tojo Line
