Ikisugi Shrine
〒314-0133 茨城県神栖市息栖２８８２
Known as one of the Three Shrines of the Eastern Provinces, this historic shrine has close ties to Kashima Jingu and Katori Jingu. Within the grounds lies Oshio-i, one of the 'Three Sacred Springs of Japan.'
History
According to shrine tradition, it was founded during the reign of Emperor Ojin (the 15th emperor) in the area of Hikawa (now Hikawa, Kimitsu City) and relocated to its current site in 807 CE (Daido 2) by Fujiwara no Umayo. Since ancient times, it has been revered alongside Katori Jingu and Kashima Jingu as one of the 'Three Shrines of the Eastern Provinces,' receiving imperial envoys dispatched to pray for national stability. During the Edo period, it enjoyed strong patronage from the Tokugawa family and is currently recognized as a shrine recorded in national histories.
