Jakōto Jinja (Jakotsu Jinja)

This is Jakōto Shrine, quietly nestled in the modern city of Shin-Yokohama. Its alternate name, Jakotsu Shrine, also evokes a sense of ancient history. This shrine has ancient legends and beliefs associated with snakes, and is said to bring benefits such as business prosperity and good luck. I cannot help but feel a powerful life force within the serene atmosphere of this shrine. It is a fitting place to offer prayers quietly, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a place of quiet reflection amidst urban development.
