Kumano-jinja Shrine

3.5

A Shinto shrine in Jiyugaoka, Meguro City, Tokyo. Just when the shrine was erected is unclear. It is recorded that the shrine was built during a time when it was popular to visit Kumano Shrine; local residents formed a group and visited the shrine to formally receive and take back a portion of the shrine's deity and house it here. This area was once known as Tanibatake, and the shrine is popularly known as Tanibatake no Gongen-sama. The approach to the shrine is somewhat long with several torii gates standing over it, and the grounds are far quieter and lusher than anything one might expect to find in central Tokyo. The brilliant main shrine building is painted crimson. Kumano-jinja Shrine is also a famous power spot in Jiyugaoka. The shrine is believed to aid worshipers in finding love and in having children, and many women come here to receive a koi-mikuji love fortune slip. In spring, beautiful cherry trees blossom near the entrance.

鮮やか本殿

こちらは、自由が丘駅より徒歩7分くらい、ヒルサイド通りから入ります。白い鳥居から、そこそこ長い参道を歩くと赤い鳥居の向こうに、鮮やかな本殿があります。沢山の人が訪れていました。
和歌山県の熊野詣でしなくても

自由が丘の街中に立派なお社有ります。境内の敷地も広く高級住宅地にこの様な立派な熊野が。敷地内にはお稲荷さんもお祀りされてます。
初詣に行きました。
