Matsudo Shrine
松戸市松戸１４５７
Known as the head guardian shrine of Matsudo City, this site has a history tied to its prosperity as a post town on the Mito Kaido highway. On October 18, during the annual festival, a procession featuring a portable shrine (mikoshi) and statues of the Four Symbols is held.
History
Founded in 1626 CE (Kan'ei 3), it serves as the head guardian shrine of Matsudo City. Influenced by the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, it was once referred to as 'Mitake Daikongen.' It received devout worship from the Tokugawa family of Mito. Although the shrine buildings and donated items were destroyed in a great fire at Matsudo-juku in 1739 (Genbun 4), the shrine was renamed to its current title in 1882 (Meiji 15).

What visitors say
Located by the river, this atmospheric shrine requires crossing a bridge to enter worship grounds. The precincts contain many subsidiary shrines, allowing visitors to pay respects to various deities. The serene atmosphere offers rich greenery, autumn leaves, and views of birds by the stream. During the New Year, a 'dontoyaki' (bonfire ceremony) is also held. There is no parking lot, so visitors should walk from Matsudo Station.
