Ushijima Shrine is located about a 10-minute walk from Asakusa Station. The deities enshrined here are Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Amanohohi-no-Mikoto, and Sadakishinno-no-Mikoto, and are said to bring good fortune in agriculture, academic advancement, bountiful harvests, protection from misfortune, and matchmaking. This shrine has a statue of a black cow called the "Nadeushi," which is said to heal you if you stroke the part of your body that is ailing and then stroke the same part of the cow's body. It is also known as a shrine for breaking off bad relationships. Don't miss the torii gate! It is a rare wooden three-wheeled torii gate in Japan. There are also plenty of other things to see, such as the Edo-style parent-child lion dog on top of a mountain called Shishiyama, which is registered as a Sumida Ward cultural property, and not only the lion dogs but also the lion cow next to the shrine. 📍Spot name: Ushijima Shrine Address: 1-4-5 Mukojima, Sumida-ku, Tokyo 131-0033 Phone number: 03-3622-0973 #TokyoSightseeing #Tokyo #Asakusa #AsakusaSightseeing #Shrine #ShrineTour #ShrineVisit #PowerSpot

Ushijima Shrine is located within Sumida Park. Nearby is the Gourd Pond, which serves as a place of relaxation. Ushijima Shrine is said to have been founded in 860 by Jikaku Daishi after receiving a divine revelation. It is said that Minamoto no Yoritomo made a donation to the shrine in 1181. One thing to note at Ushijima Shrine is the Miwa Torii gate. When passing through the torii gate, turning around in a figure eight is the correct way to worship! There are only a few such gates in the country, so it is a precious gate that is definitely worth seeing. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Ushijima Shrine 🚉Honjo Azumabashi Station　 →🚶‍♀️About 8 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Ushijima Shrine #Shrine Tour #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing

"Susa no Mikoto", which is said to have benefits such as grain abundance, matchmaking, and bad luck, "Amenohohi no Mikoto", which is said to be the god of the sun and the god of rice ears, and "Sada Tokishinno", which is in charge of agriculture and academic improvement. It is widely revered as a shrine that accepts various wishes because it enshrines the three pillars of "Unomikoto". There are many attractions in the precincts, such as a magnificent shrine of cypress Gongen-zukuri with detailed designs, and Miwa no Torii, which is rare in the country. If you stroke the same place as the bad part of your body, the "stroking cow" is said to relieve the disease and pain is also a must-see. Next to the shrine, "Komagyu", which is not a koma dog, is enshrined, and he protects the god with sharp eyes.

Next to Sumida Park in Tokyo, Japan, I visited the Ushima Shrine, which is full of spirituality and history. It is a sacred place that brings peace to the soul. I took ten photos to record this unforgettable visit. Ushijima Shrine is famous for its ancient history and sacred atmosphere. Walking into the shrine, I was immediately attracted by its magnificent torii gate and exquisite architecture. The main hall of the shrine is exquisitely designed, and the traditional Japanese style makes people feel the rich cultural heritage. The decorations and carvings inside the shrine demonstrate superb craftsmanship, and every detail reflects the aesthetics of traditional Japanese Shintoism. Inside the shrine, I visited the main hall and other important altars, and felt the spirituality and tranquility of the place. After paying my respects, I strolled through the shrine grounds, taking in the natural beauty all around. The flowers, plants and trees here complement the shrine buildings, creating a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the stone lanterns and ancient trees within the shrine, which added to the shrine's sense of history and mystery. I captured these beautiful scenes, hoping to share this peace and beauty with everyone. Ushima Shrine also hosts many traditional festivals, which attract many local residents and tourists, making the shrine full of life and vitality. Although I didn't encounter any festival activities this time, I felt the warmth and welcome here. This visit to Ushijima Shrine not only made me feel the power of traditional Japanese beliefs, but also allowed me to find a moment of peace and relaxation in my busy life. I will always treasure this wonderful memory and look forward to returning here in the future to experience more of its spirituality and beauty. #Ushijima Shrine #Sumida Park #Sacred Place #Traditional Culture #Tokyo Travel #Travel Memories

The onset of spring transformed the region into a paradise, and wandering through Ushijima Shrine left us feeling rejuvenated. Encircled by breathtaking scenery in this tranquil sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking sights that never failed to impress us, crafting indelible memories.
