Hello everyone! Yamato City Events and Tourism Association.
The other day we talked about temples, so today I would like to introduce one shrine in Yamato.
Fukami Shrine is a shrine located about a 15-minute walk from Yamato Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line and Sotetsu Line.
The God of worship is also known as "Takemikazuchikami" and "Takeminakatakami", and the God of worship of Kashima Jingu in the Head Shrine of Kashima Shrine is also known as "Kashima-kami Kashima-sama".
Both gods are very strong war gods in martial arts, and they are indispensable for praying for victory.

Fukami Shrine is also It is also one of one of the only Enki Shiki shrines in the city listed in the "Enki Shiki Shinto Name Book" compiled in the Nara and Heian periods. It seems to have been recorded for a very long time as one of the shrines that represents the region.

Fukami Shrine is also known for its "Harunire" tree, which is one of the 100 most famous trees in Kanagawa and a scenic natural monument of the Yamato City Historic Site. This elm, which is about 30 meters high, is rare in lowlands like Yamato, and was called "Nanjamonja tree" because the tree species was unknown at first, and it is still popular as a name unique to the Locals.

Fukami Shrine is located in a quiet residential area. It is also recommended to stop by as a walking course.
