Suban-jinsha, also known as Suban Shrine, is a Shinto shrine located in Itamitsu-cho of Kamakura, not in 館山市 but likely referring to Kamakura city, and Chiba Prefecture's Kamakura district. The shrine is dedicated to the god Subane-no-Mikoto, also known as Ō-no-Miya. While it was originally established in 718 CE during the Nara period, its current structure dates back to the late Edo period. Visitors can experience the shrine's serene atmosphere and explore its traditional architecture.
