Asama Shrine in Sodesuriyama

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

In the past, Sengencho was an inn between Kanagawa and Hodogaya, a former lawn village. Prior to landfill, it prospered as a relay point for transporting firewood and charcoal from the United States at the mouth of the Katabira River, which faces a beautiful inlet called Sodegaura. Because when the street name is changed, it leads to death…It seems that some rare opinions came out, but anyway, I settled down in Sengencho.

The origin of the name is Asama Shrine, which is the guardian of the village and is located in a corner of Sodesuriyama. According to the company biography, it was built by the recommendation of Yoritomo Minamoto, and has already carved a history of 900 years. The god of the festival is Kihana Sakiya Himemei (this Hanasakuya Hime only), and the main shrine is Asama Shrine at the summit of Fuji. It is said that the main shrine of Asama-style is shaped like Mount Fuji.

Did you know that the stone steps behind the scenes were the stage of an important scene in Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Sanshiro"?
