History

Kyō Jinja is an ancient shrine quietly nestled in the verdant Aoba Ward of Yokohama. Its name is said to praise the mystical atmosphere that surprises visitors. It is said to have protected this land as its guardian deity since ancient times, warding off people's misfortunes and bringing peace. Upon stepping into the precinct, one is greeted by a silence that makes one forget the hustle and bustle of the city and a refreshing atmosphere. Spending a moment to cleanse both body and mind in this sacred place would be an exceptional experience.
