A serene temple nestled in the quaint residential area ~ A place of tranquility in Kofu ~

A spiritual mountain standing in a quaint residential area

This shrine, within walking distance from Kofu Station, is a quiet spiritual mountain standing in a quaint residential area. The visitors are greeted by zodiac animal-shaped stone lanterns. Stepping into the precincts, the dense green trees exude a tranquil atmosphere.

The shrine of Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning

The main hall of this shrine enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, a scholar from the Heian period. It is loved as a place for students and exam takers to pray for success, and it also has a facility for dissolving paper. In the serene atmosphere, you can purify your soul and seek the blessings of academic achievement.

Heart-shaped stone lanterns and dohyo

Strolling through the precincts, you will notice heart-shaped stone lanterns and dohyo. Various auxiliary shrines are also scattered around, bustling with people who come to pray for various blessings. The shrine priest is said to have a keen sense and can also pray for traffic safety.

Adjacent Yuga Park (※ currently under renovation)

The Yuga Park adjacent to the shrine is currently under renovation, but once reopened, it will become a green space for walking and picnicking. Together with the tranquil shrine, it will be loved as a place for people to relax and unwind.

Masanoki-san for the first time in years. We were blessed with good weather and the highest temperature was 29℃. . What kind of shaved ice is delicious?🍧 There were a lot of people, but the food stalls were lined up for the first time in a while, and it felt like a festival, so the kids were so excited that they looked around from the edge. I was very happy to be able to watch sumo wrestling and street performances up close. The nearby free parking lot was congested even after 3:00 p.m.

I visited this shrine for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. Although it is located in a residential area, the grounds have a very tranquil atmosphere that makes you feel at ease. I think it is within walking distance from Kofu Station.

The Masanoki Festival is held every Golden Week. There were street performers, an old man selling a picture-story show, and about 200 food stalls. It was lively and fun.

Visited on March 9, 2024 A shrine located southeast of Kofu Station, next to Yuki Park⛩ The precincts are very spacious, and the area facing the zoo on the south side of the park was under construction. The red and white plum trees in front of Tenmansha were in full bloom. Facing the main shrine, there is a water fountain called Banshin Senshinsui in front of the right hand side, and the water at Kumano Shrine north of the main shrine is sacred water and has very pure water. I was able to comfortably visit the temple on a peaceful early spring day.
