Onsen Shrine

〒972-8321 福島県いわき市常磐湯本町三函322

4.3(582)

The guardian deity of Yumoto Onsen, the main hall (honden) built in 1695 (Genroku 8) is designated as a tangible cultural property by the City of Iwaki.

History

The shrine is believed to have been founded in 673 CE (Hakuhō 2) when the first head priest, Kogobe no Sukune Sawagunao, relocated the enshrined deity to Yumoto Sansako. It was later moved to Kanoyama in 1340 CE (Kiryō 3) and to its current location in 1768 CE (Meiwa 5). Since ancient times, the Sawago family has inherited the position of head priest through hereditary succession.

What visitors say

Situated on a high ground, the shrine grounds offer a beautiful view and are meticulously maintained, creating a solemn atmosphere. A distinctive feature is the scent of sulfur drifting from the natural hot spring sources. In autumn, the foliage is stunning, and the area is illuminated at night. In addition to Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp), visitors can receive unique offerings such as ema (wooden plaques) shaped like maple leaves and exclusive divine jewels (shindama) available only at Onsen Shrine.
