Kanou Shrine (Higashi-Kanou Shrine)
横須賀市東浦賀２丁目２１−２５ 東叶神社
Located in the Uraka district of Yokosuka City, this shrine has separate sites in Nishi-Uraka and Higashi-Uraka. In the 21st century, through discussions between the priests (Gujou) of both sites, a new initiative was realized to create a single amulet for matchmaking.

History
The shrine in Nishi-Uraka was established by the monk Monkakushoujou, who prayed for the revival of the Minamoto clan, by inviting the deity of Ishimizu Hachiman Grand Shrine. From the second year of the Bunji era (1186 CE), it came to be known as Kanou Daimyojin (Great Deity Kanou). The shrine in Higashi-Uraka was founded in the first year of the Shoho era (1644 CE) by inviting the deity from the Nishi-Uraka site.

What visitors say
Situated along the coast, this shrine offers an open and spacious atmosphere, with the worship hall (haiden) providing a panoramic view of the sea at Uraka. Highlights include the matchmaking amulet that pairs with the one from Nishi-Kanou Shrine, distinctive guardian dogs (Komainu), and rock caves within the precincts. Climbing the stairs at the back leads to the site where Takeda Shouju performed a fast and the ruins of Uraka Castle, both offering excellent views.
