大六天神社

Kanagawa

Todai-ji's lesser-known cousin, the Daisokatsuneh Shrine in Kamakura, honors the god of prosperity and good fortune. Dedicated to the 'Great Six Heavenly Deities', a group of six Shinto kami revered for their roles in protecting and blessing rice fields, this shrine embodies the spirit of rural Japan's agricultural heritage.
