History
Until the mid-Meiji period, the shrine was located near the Seven Stars Mansion in front of Kawasaki Daisai Station. It was relocated to the precincts of Wakamiya Hachiman-gu due to the construction of facilities for the Keikyu Electric Railway. In the 1960s, it attracted attention from foreign folklorists, and in 1977, the 'Kanamura-kou' (Phallus Association) was established. Originating from the 'Jibeta Matsuri' (Ground Festival) of the Edo period, the 'Kanamura Matsuri' is now held on a grand scale as a tourist attraction.
