    溝の口駅から数㎞離れているが、マイカーがない人でも行きやすい。 というのも、この温泉の前の道路を走るバスが頻発しているのだ(蟹ヶ谷行き)。 平日の昼間に行ったが、混雑していて地元の人に人気があるようだった。 琥珀色の湯は、ぬるみがあり、泉質が良さそう。 美肌効果があるはず。 ただし、内湯、外湯ともに小さめ。スケールの小さい温泉だから、遠方の人が行くほどには、思えなかった。 地元の人向きの印象。

    This Shinto shrine is about a one-minute walk from Kawasaki-Daishi Station. One of the sanctuaries on the grounds of Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine, it's known locally as Kanamara-sama. It honors the deities Kanayama-hiko and Kanayama-bime, who legend says cared for the goddess Izanami-no-Mikoto whose lower body was badly burned when she gave birth to a fire deity. As such, worshiping here is believed to ease childbirth and help heal afflictions of the lower body. Shrine festivals include the Suicho-no-Matsuri which recreates a historic drinking contest, the Fuigo Festival to pray for prosperity among blacksmiths and hardware merchants, and the annual Kanamara Festival, where patrons carry portable shrines in the shape of giant phalluses.

    This is not the first fertility shrine Ive visited in Japan. I like to seek out odd attractions and this one came up. I visited it while on my way to another temple. Its worth a quick 5 minutes...
