[Kanagawa Prefecture/Higashi Kano Shrine] A shrine located in the east and west of Uraga

There are Kanou Shrines on both sides of the port of Uraga. One of them is Higashi Kanou Shrine. It is the only shrine in Japan with the character Kanou❗️ When Mongaku prayed for the revival of the Genji clan, he enshrined it from Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine. It is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo's wish was granted, so it was named Kanou Daimyojin. When Uraga village was divided into east and west, the villagers wished for a Kanou Shrine in the east as well! This led to the founding of the current Kanou Shrine (east). It is said that he underwent fasting training before traveling to the US under the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the US and Japan, and the well that he used at that time still remains! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Higashikano Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-21-25 Higashiuraga, Yokosuka City ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Uraga Station →🚏Shinmachi →🚶‍♀️About 7 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Kanagawa trip #Kanagawa sightseeing
