Azuma Shrine

吾妻神社

Kanagawa

Dedicated to Yamato Takeru no Mikoto, a legendary prince and hero from Japanese mythology, this shrine holds deep significance as a memorial to his beloved wife Oto Tachibana-hime, who sacrificed herself to calm the stormy seas during their journey. The shrine's name "Azuma" derives from the prince's mournful cry of "Azuma wa ya" (Alas, my wife!) upon reaching this eastern land. Visitors come here to pray for safe travels, marital harmony, and to honor the enduring love story that has made this a popular destination for couples seeking blessings for their relationships.
