Yufuku Jinja

Yufuku Shrine, a gōsha-ranked shrine in Hakoshimizu, Nagano City, holds a distinguished position as one of the Three Guardian Shrines of Zenkoji Temple (Zenkoji Sanshinsha) and is also counted among the Seven Shrines of Zenkoji. Enshrining Takeminakata-no-kami, it has maintained deep ties with Zenkoji Temple since ancient times and remains a place of unceasing pilgrimage. Within the precincts stand three keyaki (zelkova) trees estimated to be 700 to 900 years old, designated as Natural Monuments by Nagano City, their enduring presence bearing witness to the prayers of countless generations.
