Neno Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the early 16th century, during the Sengoku period, in what was then part of the Kamakura domain. The shrine enshrines multiple kami, including the primary deity Ame-no-Mihoto (god of rice) and Inari (god of fertility). The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese styles, with a main hall (haiden) and a square torii gate (sangen-torii), while its name 'Neno' is believed to be related to the term for 'budding' or ' sprouting', likely referring to the abundance of spring growth in the surrounding area. Visitors can explore the shrine's grounds, which include walking paths, a pond, and several shrines dedicated to other kami.
