Kogushi Shrine

〒420-0852 静岡県静岡市葵区紺屋町7−13

4.2(362)

Located in the葵 Ward of Shizuoka City, this shrine is also known as Shoshoi-gu and was revered by the Imagawa clan. It is also famous as the shrine where Tokugawa Ieyasu prayed for long-lasting martial fortune during his childhood.

History

The date of its founding is unknown, but it is an ancient shrine identified with a shrine of the same name listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). It was once enshrined in the residence of the castle deputy in the third bailey of Sunpu Castle, but was moved to its current location due to the expansion of Sunpu Castle during the Edo period. In 1907 (Meiji 40), it was classified as a Prefectural Shrine.

What visitors say

This is an urban shrine with a calm atmosphere, located in a shopping street near Shizuoka Station. The narrow grounds feature a pond where koi fish can be seen swimming. The shrine buildings have a solid construction, and the approach path continues straight and short from the torii gate to the main hall. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies at the shrine office.
