[Shizuoka Prefecture] The prestigious Mishima Taisha Shrine in Izu Province

Located in the center of Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture, Mishima Taisha Shrine is said to be the most prestigious shrine in Izu Province. It is not only known for its prosperity in business, but also for bringing luck in gambling, as it is said to be the beginning of the samurai government and was founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo, who founded the Kamakura Shogunate, who prayed for the revival of the Genji clan, which was fulfilled. Within the grounds, there are many spots related to the Genji clan and power spots, such as the red bridge over the sacred pond that pigeons love, the sacred gate that stands at the entrance to the further sacred area, the sacred camphor tree that is known as one of the "Mishima Seven Trees," and the stone bench where Yoritomo and his wife, Hojo Masako, are said to have sat. 🫡

It is a majestic shrine that enhances the charm of the city of Mishima, and it is a place where you can see its high status. 😌
