Nagatsuta Oji Shrine

横浜市緑区長津田7丁目5−34

4.0(157)

Known as the guardian deity (Chinju) of Nagatsuta, this shrine is also referred to as Oji Gongen or Wakaichi Oji Shrine. It is selected as one of the "Ten Views of Nagatsuta" under the name "Oji Autumn Moon."

History

It is said to have been enshrined (Kanjo) during the Edo period by Okano Motosada, the lord of Nagatsuta Village in Tsukuda District, Musashi Province, and is believed to have been established between the Bunroku and Keicho eras. Influenced by Kumano faith, it was called Wakaichi Oji Shrine after the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the first year of the Meiji era. In 1943, when it was designated as a shrine for the offering of divine food and silk (Shinsen Heihaku-ryou Kyushin-sha), it officially adopted the name "Oji Shrine."

What visitors say

Located within walking distance of the train station, this quiet shrine sits on a small hill reached by a set of stairs. A large sacred tree (Mikiboku) stands before the torii gate, and the stairs are designed to curve around it. The shrine office accepts requests for Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp), including hand-written versions. The grounds are well-maintained and clean.
