[Kanagawa Prefecture] Morito Shrine, the main shrine of Hayama, a town where you can travel like you live

Kanagawa Prefecture is home to Hayama Town on the Miura Peninsula. It is the birthplace of yachting and a popular seaside villa destination, so we went to Morito Shrine in this town⛩️

Built along Morito Beach, this shrine was founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo, who established the Kamakura Shogunate, and boasts a history of about 850 years. It is loved by locals as the main shrine of Hayama Town, and many people from outside the prefecture come to worship there🥸

The shrine grounds are dotted with historic sites, such as Oseki Inari Shrine, which is worshiped as the god of the throat, and Misogi Bridge, which connects the shrine to the coast and was named after the fact that it was a sacred place for purification rituals that was popular there since ancient times! From this "Misogi Bridge," you can see the whole of Morito Shrine, and you can see how close it is to the sea. 📸

It is built right next to Morito Beach, so from the beach behind the shrine, you can see Enoshima and the coastal scenery of Sagami Bay!

If you visit at dusk, you can see the crimson-colored sky and the sunset light shining on the sea, which is called "Morito's Sunset," and was selected as one of the "50 Scenic Spots of Kanagawa" 🌅

※I wanted to see it so badly! I'll get revenge next time...😭
